Karen Christensen, vice president of Hosts Global, exhibited at the DMS Destination Marketing Services workshop in Auckland yesterday and says an attractive exchange rate and increased connectivity make Canada an extremely popular choice for business travellers and groups. ‘This is particularly true of western Canada, places like Vancouver, Whistler and Banff.’ Christensen says Hosts Gobal continues to get interest from Kiwi groups heading to the USA – mainly places like San Francisco and Las Vegas, but also to Chicago and Austin Texas.
