Туризм Монреаль today held its Annual General Meeting, an event that fell during Tourism Week in Канада and 77 days after Québec imposed a lockdown to contain the Covid-19 pandemic. The organization, which is in charge of promoting Montréal as a leading tourist destination, presented its 2019 annual report and showcased the highlights of a year marked by prosperity—and Tourisme Montréal’s 100th anniversary celebrations.

2019: чечүүчү жыл

During its Annual General Meeting, Tourisme Montréal took the opportunity to thank its teams, members and partners for their tireless efforts, which culminated in record results in 2019 and strengthened the organization’s standing as an industry leader.

“Tourisme Montréal’s teams did an outstanding job and generated excellent economic results in the leisure tourism, business travel and events sectors,” said Philippe Sureau, Chairman of the Board at Tourisme Montréal. “The Board and I would like to thank all of Tourisme Montréal’s employees and management team for their hard work and dedication. Every day, they show how much they care about Montréal.”

In 2019, Montréal attracted 11.1 million tourists who spent more than $ 4.86 миллиард in the city. These record numbers confirm the importance of Tourisme Montréal’s contribution to the local, provincial and national economies, with benefits cascading to various related sectors and businesses. During the year, Tourisme Montréal also collaborated with several partners to bring 450 conventions, meetings and sports events to Montréal. These activities generated substantial economic benefits and led to Montréal being named the leading host city in Түндүк Америка for international events and the continent’s top-ranking city for hosting sports events.

2020: A challenging year

The world has been paralyzed by a health crisis for several months. The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted all industries, and the tourism sector has not been spared. Tourisme Montréal discussed the situation at its Annual General Meeting and shared the priorities that will inform its actions over the next several months. Since the beginning of the crisis, Tourisme Montréal has been working closely with the government and its partners to provide important information and assistance to its members and the city’s tourism industry stakeholders. Montréal remains an attractive destination and its popularity is sure to endure beyond the current crisis. The organization is committed to doing everything possible to rekindle Montréal’s vitality and help tourism reclaim the success it enjoyed before the temporary business closure.

“As the unifying force behind Montréal’s tourism industry, we recognize, now more than ever, the importance of our role in promoting local initiatives to key decision makers,” said Yves Lalumière, President and CEO of Tourisme Montréal. “Our organization has always had ambitious hopes for Montréal and our drive is stronger than ever to help the city emerge from the crisis.”
