OTTAWA TOURISM

Thinking about where to hold your next convention or event? Ottawa, Canada's capital, has something to offer every group.  Easily accessible, Ottawa is centrally located in the province of Ontario, with the award-winning Ottawa International Airport (YOW) offering daily direct connections to over 30 Canadian, U.S. and European Centres. The airport is a 15-minute drive to downtown–and will soon be connected to downtown via light rail transit.

Ottawa is home to large international hotel brands and local boutique properties. Six thousand downtown hotel rooms are within easy walking distance of the centrally-located Shaw Centre, and Ottawa’s new light rail transit system links many more directly to the Centre.  Awarded the World’s Best Convention Centre, the Shaw Centre offers 192,000 square feet of highly flexible meeting space, outstanding views of downtown Ottawa through its glass façade, and is among the most environmentally sustainable and energy-friendly centres in North America.

Ottawa’s national museums offer convention planners a wealth of unique off-site venues for receptions, galas, and delegate experiences. You can gather amidst the world’s largest indoor collection of totem poles, under the wings of historic aircraft, surrounded by works of art, and next to ancient dinosaur fossils.

VISIT MALTA

Malta is stunning in its beauty.

The smaller islands are Gozo and Comino. Each has its own character; they are compact and easy to get around.

With less than a 3-hour flight from most European cities and having great infrastructure, the Maltese Islands offer endless possibilities at just 316 square km. The weather is mild and sunny all year round, making it an ideal outdoor destination for al fresco dinners and outdoor activities.
