National Geographic Scorecard - Canada scores 2 of top 3 positions!

The venerable National Geographic Traveler have just released their 6th annual survey of destination stewardship for the World's top travel destinations ... and Canada scores two of the top three positions!

Here's how National Geographic describe the survey:

This survey—our sixth "places rated" list—isn’t a popularity contest. It is an assessment of authenticity and stewardship, evaluating the qualities that make a destination unique and measuring its "integrity of place." Thus the remote islands of the Grenadines can rate notably higher than popular St. Maarten.

Canada's Top 10 Ski Runs!

It's very nearly that time of year again ... ski season! Over the weekend The Guardian advised skiers to head west this winter (http://bit.ly/VA1oF) to take advantage of the great rates in Canada as opposed to punishing rates of the Euro. We agree of course and there's never been a better time to try a Canadian ski holiday, whether it's in the spectacular Rocky Mountains, at Whistler/Blackcomb - home of the 2010 Winter Olympics - or in French-flavoured Quebec which is just a little closer to home.

We found a great article on the Toronto Star's website listing their top 10 Canadian ski runs. Have a look now to get some ideas for your getaway this winter: http://bit.ly/W8w4J

Good Day to you all Friends,

162 days to go until the 2010 Winter Olympics kick-off in Vancouver, B.C and we are working furiously on adding our exciting new Canada Ski Holiday section to www.CanadaTravelSpecialists.com

What's more we have some incredible offers for Canada Ski Holidays this Winter on sale right now. For example we have 7 nights in Banff leaving Gatwick on December 12th for only £379pp! Amazing!

So, keep your eyes on www.CanadaTravelSpecialists.com for our all-singing, all-dancing new Ski & Snowboard section coming soon or call free today on 0800 011 1889!

More soon,

Team CTS!

Only 3 Weeks to go to TIFF '09!

3 weeks and counting until this year's Toronto Film Festival opens and it looks like being a cracker.

The big draw for us is Viggo Mortenson in the film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's bleak masterpiece 'The Road', but that's sure to be only one gem among many. Michael Moore visits the festival with his 'Capitalism: A Love Story' which is sure to be timely, provocative and downright impudent (and all the better for it).

There's also the much-anticipated Mavericks season featuring An Afternoon with Chris Rock and In Conversation with Michael Caine - reason to visit alone we'd say.

We at Canada Travel Specialists don't ever need an excuse to jump over to Toronto for a city-break but if we ever did then this would be it.

We still have some great, last-minute deals with flights from the UK and Toronto accommodation to let you see the best of the film festival, and maybe tag on a night or two at the stunning Niagara Falls. What are you waiting for? Action! Contact Canada Travel Specialists today!

Call free on 0800 011 1889 or visit www.CanadaTravelSpecialists.com

See you soon,

Team CTS.
