Canadian Summer Travel Ideas!

The Travel Show invites you to explore your very own backyard and discover all the wonder and beauty that our country has to offer. This week’s topic is inspired by the launch of the new book “Frommers Far & Wide: A weekly Guide to Canada’s Best Travel Experiences”. This is a guide to Canada that caters to travellers of every interest.

Chris will be joined on the Travel Show this Saturday by Gene Shannon, Editor of "Far & Wide". The guide offers recommendations for every week of the year in all parts of Canada. So, for example, if you are going to be in a particular place at a particular time you can use the Guide to see what is going on while you are there. Or you can look for particular events or activities that interest you, and find the best place and the right time to go.

The Guide also features the favourite places of well-known Canadians such as TV personality Rick Mercer, Canadian novelist Johanna Skibsrud and professional wrestler Bret “The Hitman” Hart.

Frommers have also come up with their own “Top Ten Summer Vacations for Canadians” that includes hunting for icebergs in Newfoundland, snorkeling with Beluga whales in Churchill, Manitoba and hiking in Yoho National Park, BC.

  explore Magazine” – Canada’s premier outdoor lifestyle magazine is packed with articles, information and handy tips on all aspects of adventure travel, camping, and getting outdoors in Canada. It also provides useful information on topics such as the latest gear, nutrition and fitness.

The summer edition of explore, coming to newsstands soon, will include a guide to camping - with recommendations of 25 prime locations for the perfect summer escape in our Provincial and National Parks.

The focus of the Canadian Tourism Commission is on encouraging overseas visitors to come to Canada. As part of this they have created "Canadian Signature Experiences" to showcase authentic Canada to overseas visitors. But this collection of the "best of the best" of what Canada has to offer is just as valid for Canadians seeking to experience their own country. Click here for the full list of 163 outstanding activities from all corners of Canada.

Not to be outdone, Chris also has his own suggestions and top ten lists to contribute some great travel ideas in Canada. Just posted is his “Top 10 Scenic Drives in Canada” as well as “Top 10 Canadian History Sites”, “Top 10 Canadian Wildlife Experiences” and his own “Top 10 Canadian National Parks”. So the Travel Show on Saturday will answer your questions and provide a rich array of suggestions to get out and about in Canada this summer.
