Last year we were appreciative to have the support of the Canadian Tourism Commission (CTC) contributing to the success of the first ever Canadian Online Travel Conference and we look forward to their upcoming event in the fall

Toronto, ON (PRWeb) February 6, 2007 -- The first Online Revealed Canada Conference held last May in Ottawa set the stage for the event to become the must attend annual online travel event - addressing the unique issues of Canadian travel professionals.

The conference provides attendees with a forum to discuss issues surrounding the Internet as a distribution vertical, and what this means to Canadian tourism. With speakers from search engine giants, online marketing research experts, and online travel distribution leaders, the event will give attendees tactical approaches and insight into marketing and delivering Canadian tourism product online and off.

What will be "Revealed" this year? Real People, Real Solutions, Real Canadian! With prestigious speakers from such notable companies as Phocuswright and Expedia, Online Revealed Canada will also present four tracks of practical application workshops to provide participants with hands on steps to improve the success of their online marketing. 16 unique educational workshops will be presented over two days divided into four unique learning tracks:

• Search Engine Optimization

Online Revealed Canada is a forum with a uniquely Canadian approach to the ever-changing online marketplace and what it means to hospitality suppliers, vendors, hotel groups, individual hotels, tourism operators, travel intermediaries, agencies and other Canadian Travel Professionals.

"Last year we were appreciative to have the support of the Canadian Tourism Commission (CTC) contributing to the success of the first ever Canadian Online Travel Conference and we look forward to their upcoming event in the fall," says Patricia Brusha, COO of A Couple of Chicks e-Marketing and Co-chair and Founder of Online Revealed. "Jens Thraenhart, CTC's Executive Director of E-Marketing, the 2006 Co-chair of the Conference, was instrumental in shaping the original concept of the event, including content and attracting high level speakers. This year we are excited to announce that our 2007 industry educational partner is HSMAI Canada who will be producing a track of 4 travel related workshops."

The Internet and e-commerce are continually influencing and impacting Canadian tourism and the travel industry. In order to be truly competitive and aggressive in today's marketplace, every sales and marketing professional in the travel and hospitality needs to have an arsenal of knowledge and understanding to maximize the effectiveness of Online Marketing.
