Toronto, ON (Vocus/PRWEB) January 13, 2011
The Canadian e-Tourism Council, a national forum of Canadian tourism marketing executives specializing in online communications, and chaired by Rick Gaunt of Manitoba, is pleased to announce the 2nd Canadian e-Tourism Awards, an innovative awards program that recognizes individual travelers and tourism businesses for excellence in online communication supporting travel to Canada.
"We are extremely excited to have Google as the Title Sponsor for these awards," said Carol Alderdice, Canadian e-Tourism Awards Chair.
The Canadian e-Tourism Council has a mandate to collaborate to leverage emerging media channels and web technologies in order to successfully promote Canada as a travel destination. E-Tourism awards council members represent provincial marketing organizations from around the country.
This awards program is not limited to business. This is the only awards program that recognizes individuals for telling their travel stories online. Many travelers share their stories, photos, and even videos about their travel experiences on the internet. This information is widely used and trusted by consumers in their travel research. We want to salute the most intriguing and exciting moments of travelers' vacations and explorations in Canada.
Registration for the Canadian e-Tourism Awards is now open to individuals and businesses in a host of categories who feature, market or sell a Canadian destination, product, attraction or experience. Award criteria and applications are now available online at http://www.canadianetourismawards.com. The website was designed and is hosted by T4G Limited and will feature online nominations and voting by individuals and businesses online. Entries will be accepted for the tourism marketing awards until midnight EDT, January 30th, 2011.
The e-Tourism awards will be presented at a luncheon on March 9 at the Sheraton Centre Toronto as part of Canada's leading online marketing conference, Online Revealed Canada, http://www.onlinerevealed.com. "Online Revealed Canada is honored to be hosting the 2nd Canadian e-Tourism Awards," states Patricia Brusha, Co-Founder of Online Revealed Canada. "Google as Title Sponsor only reinforces the significant strides made in e-tourism marketing in Canada."
The Canadian e-Tourism Awards will recognize individual travelers who create engaging online Canadian travel stories told through words, photos or video on social networks or individual websites and blogs and businesses that prove innovation, creativity and results in marketing Canadian travel experiences.
Unlike other tourism awards programs, nominations are free of charge and consumers can nominate and vote on all entries.
The judging will be done by the Canadian e-Tourism Council.
