Niagara Falls, Canada recently hosted two important group tourism industry gatherings. The “OMCA Marketplace” was held from November 13-16, 2022, while the PCMA Canada East Chapter's “Canadian Innovation Conference 2022” (CIC22) took place from November 20-22, 2022 at the Niagara Falls Convention Centre.
More than 150 group-tourism related companies from across Canada and the U.S. had the opportunity to reconnect, network, learn and secure future group bookings at the “OMCA Marketplace." This event enabled tour and coach operators to meet one-on-one with tourism suppliers over three days.
The other event—CIC22—hosted by Niagara Falls Business Events, in partnership with Tourism Partnership Niagara (TPN) and the Niagara Falls Convention Centre, convened over 250 meeting and event professionals and suppliers from across Canada whose organizations are engaged in providing services for meetings, conventions, seminars, exhibits and trade shows. CIC22 experienced all that the city of Niagara Falls offers for group tours, besides memorable experiences of the region, including shopping, wineries, breweries, cideries and distilleries.
The conference showcased some of Niagara Falls’ and the region’s newest experiences. The Niagara Falls Convention Centre is steps away from the famed waterfalls. Delegates enjoyed fresh local produce and wines from the Niagara wine region. They also attended event premieres at new venues, including the Niagara Parks Power Station and the new Tunnel.
“Niagara Falls is proud to have been selected the host destination for these two important group tourism industry gatherings,” said Janice Thomson, president and CEO, Niagara Falls Tourism. “We were thrilled to showcase our destination including the newest internationally acclaimed experiences and event venues demonstrating why Niagara Falls should top the list of destinations for group travel and business events.”
