Q1. If you go to the Insular Mountain Range of Vancouver Island and face the open Pacific Ocean, be
ready to experience the magnificent natural and cultural heritage of Canada’s west coast. If you decide to
go deeper into the island, you will find a lush coastal rainforest that gives way to bountiful and diverse
intertidal and subtidal areas. And to top it all off, there are breathtaking beaches that make this an island
paradise.
Q2. The resort town of Whistler is about a two-hour drive from Vancouver. Whistler offers visitors fine
food and spas, but mostly it is popular among tourists for the opportunities it offers for adventure. Whistler
and Blackcomb Mountains make Whistler one of the best destinations in the world for first-class skiing.
The passage between the two mountains creates a unique terrain one mile above the village, providing a
year-round skiable territory.
Q3. A prized national treasure, Banff National Park is one of five national parks in the Canadian Rocky
Mountains. It attracts millions of visitors each year for camping, hiking, biking, skiing, fishing or just
relaxing. A full range of accommodation, restaurants and shops can be found in the resort. Two of the most
famous and historic Canadian hotels, the Fairmont Banff Springs and the Chateau Lake Louise, are located
in these towns as well.
Q4. Niagara Falls is maybe the most famous in the world, attracting millions of tourists each year.
However, it has a certain reputation for being partly a small-scale Las Vegas and a theme park, because in
addition to Niagara Falls the tourists can visit a casino resort with fine hotels and restaurants. Although this
area is improving very quickly and everyone can easily find what they like, the Niagara region as a whole
is worth deeper exploration.
Q5. Tourists are naturally drawn to tall buildings where they can get a bird’s eye view of a city. The CN
tower, located in downtown Toronto, is the tallest free standing structure in the world. Unfortunately,
elevated observation usually comes at an equally elevated price, and the CN Tower is no different.
However, tourists love it and the glass elevator takes them to the glass-floored outdoor observation deck
which is a real thrill for both kids and grownups.
Q6. The 300 km long Cabot Trail is famous for its panorama views of the Atlantic Ocean. The trail is
especially popular in the fall when the views are the most spectacular. Even though the drive into this area
usually takes a few hours, once there, tourists can spend a day or two stopping in at one or two of the towns
along the trail, relaxing and enjoying the magnificent nature all around.
Q7. By North American standards, Vancouver is a young city. But what it lacks in history it compensates
for with its unique blend of urban and natural features. Thanks to its high- fashion boutiques, it has earned
the nickname “North Hollywood.” Vancouver’s breathtaking views are often chosen as the setting for
popular television shows and major motion pictures. Often tourists are surprised to recognize landmarks
from their favorite films and shows.
