  • Montreal tourism campaign aims for the rooftops

    Heading into Montreal’s 375th anniversary celebration last year, the city’s tourism team had a challenge on its hands. A blow-out marketing blitz was warranted, but what should be the theme?  ‘We’re older than Toronto and way more fun than Ottawa’ would surely be true though arguably not the most gracious or persuasive angle. Similarly limiting, says Francois Poulin, Tourisme Montreal’s Director of Communications and Interactive Media, is absence of landmarks on the scale of as a Paris or London.

One thing you must do is see Arches National Park.

  • Jamaican Escape: Twenty-six miles of reggae (and a whole lot more beach)

    Jamaica is the land of Bob Marley, Montego Bay, beaches, rum and seemingly endless sunshine. There’s no shortage of things to do here, or maybe even more appealing, not do.

    In Israel, the saying goes that you pray in Jerusalem, party in Tel Aviv and study in Haifa.
