Laura Dowling - Director/Guide of Canadian Rockies Experience

“Tourism Canmore Kananaskis was the first organization we contacted when starting Canadian Rockies Experience. Rachel was instrumental in helping us to form relationships with future partners and organizations vital to our success. Their marketing has been instrumental in driving sales and establishing ourselves in the local tourism market, reaching clients that would have otherwise been outside of our own limiting marketing plan. Both Karen and Rachel have been reliable resources who have consistently responded with great information and direction based on their extensive knowledge of the local and provincial industry. By bringing together local like-minded businesses in a cooperative effort, Tourism Canmore Kananaskis is continually enhancing our presence in this very competitive market and ensuring the success of all local businesses.”

“Tourism Canmore Kananaskis has provided us at Canmore Raft Tours with ample opportunities to reach more people, grow our customer base, and ultimately, increase revenue. Karen and Rachel introduced us to a strong network of like-minded businesses, and we’ve since formed partnerships with hotels, restaurants, and other member businesses in the area. We also have a direct line to Travel Alberta, and are kept up to date on tourism and travel-related news impacting Canmore and Kananaskis. Not to mention, given lots of opportunities for direct and indirect advertising and promotions. As far as the added Destination Marketing Fee goes, our customers have never expressed any concerns!”
