2022 Tourism Relaunch for the Capitale-Nationale Region
In summer 2021, Destination Québec cité teamed up with Secrétariat à la Capitale-Nationale (SCN) and Tourisme Charlevoix to issue a call for projects designed to relaunch the tourism industry in 2022. The goal was to supplement the 2022 festival and event season and the tourist attractions in the Capitale-Nationale region by funding exciting initiatives that would generate spinoffs.
With international travel expected to make a comeback in 2022, destinations across the globe will be rolling out the red carpet to attract tourists. The Capitale-Nationale region is seizing this opportunity to shine a light on its impressive slate of cultural, sports, and tourist attractions and events. The selected projects will enrich the region’s tourism offer and help drive economic growt.
