Ontario Travel Online Packages Opportunity, the Holiday Campaign

The 2014 Holiday Campaign encouraging consumers to give the gift of Ontario (travel packages and event tickets) launches November 24th and will run through to March 2015, targeting the family market in Ontario.Online travel packages that align with the campaign's theme and support the editorial content will not only display in their respective experience pages on the site but also be flagged so that they are linked to this campaign. There will be a particular focus on packages for the following experiences: * Kid Fun * Outdoor Adventures * Arts & Culture * Festivals/Events/Live Music. Criteria-based packages are available FREE of charge to industry partners. If you are interested in submitting a package for consideration, please do so by the deadline of November 14, 2014. MAXIMIZE YOUR VISIBILITY ON ONTARIOTRAVEL.NET Entering packages for ontariotravel.net is a simple process. Log in to www.tourismpartners.com, click on the "Manage Packages" link at the bottom of the page and work through the flow. It is very user-friendly and prompts you for all required information. Links to the package criteria and guidelines are included in the flow - take a look at them before starting to enter your information. Each package must be accompanied by a single image that reflects the consumer experience (minimum 1920 x 800 pixels, maximum 4 MB). Also, please ensure that the URL that you provide is a link to where consumers can find complete details and pricing of the package on your site, not to your home page. Once a package is entered it takes about five days for it to be reviewed, approved and translated before it is live on the site. Packages come down from the site once the End Date has passed but remain in your account; you can edit or add new packages at any time. Even if you do not have packages that align with this particular theme this is a good time to review your packages and make any necessary edits or add new 2015 offers. Questions?
