FNA in Manitoba Voyageur Magazine

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

Manitoba Voyageur is an industry magazine published quarterly by Travel Manitoba designed to keep members of the tourism industry up-to-date on currents issues, initiatives and events. In the Spring 2010 issue, we were featured on page 4 for hosting Mary Carillo and NBC in Churchill last autumn alongside the Canadian Tourism Commission and Travel Manitoba. The results of our efforts were extremely successful, as NBC aired two Churchill vignettes during their coverage of the 2010 Winter Olympics to over 20 million viewers.

2010 Boston Globe Travel Show

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Over this past weekend, we participated in the 2010 Boston Globe Travel Show in Boston, Massachusetts. It was our first time exhibiting at the show and we had a great time meeting new and exciting people who are as passionate about travel as we are. We were very busy fielding questions about our most recent feature on NBC, and about our Polar Bears in Churchill adventures. We had some great conversations with many interested New Englanders and we cannot wait to host them this year in Canada’s North! Next stop – New York City for the New York Times Travel Show! If you are in the area, Grant and Jaime would love to see you there!

Here are some highlights of Boston Globe Travel show:

NBC’s Polar Bear Pilgrimage

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

NBC has published online the Churchill polar bear vignette that aired Monday during their prime-time coverage of the Winter Olympics. BIG thanks to NBC who, when considering a trip to experience Churchill’s polar bears, contacted  us. With Skal’s 2009 International ecotourism award and 30 years of Tundra Buggy Adventuring under our belt, we think they made the right choice.

Enjoy!

Local Coverage

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

We have received a lot of interest and excitement for our Tundra Buggy adventures since being featured by NBC during their 2010 Winter Olympics broadcast on Sunday evening.

In just over 24 hours since the segment aired to over 20 million viewers, we received over 2,500 hits to our FrontiersNorth.com and TundraBuggy.com websites and have made many confirmed bookings for our Polar Bears in Churchill adventures! We are working with NBC to obtain the video so we can share it with everyone on our blog who didn’t have the opportunity to view it on Sunday. Please stay tuned!

In the mean time, check out some articles that were published about us by the Winnipeg Sun, Winnipeg Free Press, and Winnipeg news blogger ChrisD. Finally, please read this humour blog posting that recounts the excitement of one NBC viewer leading up to our polar bear segment!

Welcome NBC Olympic Viewers!

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Earlier this evening on, eastern standard time during their Olympic coverage NBC aired a vignette recounting their time spent with us in Churchill during November 2009.

In terms of media guests, the NBC crew we hosted was first class, the whole way!

As a result of the segment our websites crashed —  GREAT PROBLEM TO HAVE, BY THE WAY – We immediately worked with our good friends and website host provider Daemon Defence Systems and ramped-up our hosting capability to accommodate the traffic. We’re now firing on all cylinders!
