Head For Québec City
Unique Incentive Packages
When choosing the
right destination for an incentive package, you know that many factors
can make a difference. The destination proposed must be sufficiently out
of the ordinary to draw interest. It has to be attractive and
intriguing. It also has to offer a variety of tourist, cultural, social
and sports activities. Of course, it also has to provide everything for
a comfortable, pleasant and successful trip. Look no further than the
Québec City Area! It has all it takes to be the perfect destination for
incentive travel packages.
Unique The Québec
City area is unique and is the cradle of French civilization in North
America. The language of Molière, a latin heritage, the architecture of
its historic homes and four centuries of history give it a European
charm that cannot be found elsewhere on the continent. All along the
Saint Lawrence River, you will see beautiful panoramic vistas, discover
new sights and savour magical moments. In the countryside around
Portneuf or in the Jacques-Cartier Valley, nature takes over on a
magnificent scale and extends an invitation to exploration and
discovery.
The historic district
of Québec City has been placed on the prestigious UNESCO World Heritage
List. Québec City is the first city in North America to earn such
recognition. Québec City is also the only fortified city on the
continent north of Mexico. A stroll through the streets is a pleasure in
itself. You'll see historic sites, specialty boutiques, museums, cosy
cafes, art galleries filled with treasures and city parks filled with
flowers.
Joie de Vivre The
residents of Québec City are famous for their joie de vivre. This is
reflected in the myriad activities available. History, museums, theatre,
movies, concerts and art galleries are all part of the year-round
cultural and tourist attractions. Shopping, restaurants, city tours,
mini-cruises on the river and excursions of all kinds are available
throughout the area. Sports and outdoor activities continue all year
long only a few minutes from downtown.
The people in Québec
City always have a reason to celebrate. There are dozens of national,
international, cultural and sports activities throughout the area. In
winter, there is the Québec Winter Carnival, in summer, the du Maurier
International Summer Festival with street and stage performers from
around the world. Spring is time for maple syrup and fall, the festival
of colours.
A Warm Welcome The
Québec City Area offers the facilities you expect from a major tourist
destination. With 11,000 rooms available in and around the city, there
are many types of accommodations available. You can choose life in a
chateau, a country inn, the warm comfort of a bed and breakfast, or a
reassuring major hotel. One thing is certain, there is a warm welcome
waiting for you everywhere.
Plenty of activities
and excursions help visitors discover the best kept secret in North
America. Everything is provided so that a visitor's stay will be
memorable, whether it is for a relaxing and peaceful visit, for special
events or for outdoor adventure and thrills. The pleasures of the table
are also part of the trip. Québec City has earned a reputation for
gourmet delights. In fact, the city is home to many excellent French and
ethnic restaurants, with authentic Québec or international decor.
Fascinating, vibrant,
fun and memorable are just a few ways to describe an incentive trip to
the Québec City Area. To make it a genuine celebration, plan it during
a major event, such as the Winter Carnival, the du Maurier International
Summer Festival or during maple sugar season. To make it an adventure,
just add some activities to the program like calling wolves, rafting or
tandem hang-gliding. For a sports-oriented program, consider downhill or
cross-country skiing, or snowmobiling during the winter, and biking,
fishing or golfing in the summer.
