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.
