A new tourism initiative to offer what has been described as a 'warm welcome' has been launched in Canada. The Welcome to Canada project has been designed to offer travellers to the country a sneak preview of the destinations and experiences on offer. The project was launched at Macdonald-Cartier Airport in the country's capital city, Ottawa and forms part of Canada's build-up to the Vancouver Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in 2010. The government minister of state for tourism, Diane Ablonczy, said the strategy will 'drive tourism and promote Canada as a desirable destination before, during and after the 2010 Winter Games'. Chief executive of Macdonald-Cartier Airport in Ottawa, Paul Benoit, said: 'Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport is proud to be the first venue in the country to support this project. 'International visitors arriving in Ottawa will have a first-hand view of some of the great experiences that await them in Canada. ' UK travellers can fly to Ottawa with a number of airlines, including Air Canada, American Airlines and Continental Airlines.
