Toronto/On, December/01/2009/ - itravel2000.com, Canada's
premier online travel company and the Martinique Promotion
Bureau/Comite Martiniquais du Tourisme have teamed up to encourage
Canadians to make Martinique a top vacation destination this
year.
“Affordable luxury seems to be a term that’s thrown
around a lot these days but Martinique truly is affordable and
luxurious,” notes Jonathan Carroll, President, itravel2000.
Starting December 6th, Air Canada offers the only direct flights to
Fort-de-France, Martinique from Montreal. This will mark the
beginning of year round flights into this ‘flower of the
Caribbean’ and itravel2000 expects this new service into
Martinique will appeal to Quebecers looking for the range of
sporting, dining, shopping and cultural activities that only
Martinique can offer. In addition, great flight times offer
Ontarians and Maritimers the opportunity for a wide range of
connectors so they too can discover this popular island gem with a
‘French flair’.
itravel2000 and Martinique Promotion Bureau/Comite Martiniquais
du Tourisme will be promoting the destination to Canadians in
Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes this winter. Martinique has
always been the premier destination for couples looking for a
romantic getaway. And don’t forget hikers, foodies,
culture-seekers, divers, and especially, Franco¬philes.
Canadians looking for the more sophisticated pleasures such as
French cuisine with a Gallic/Caribbean flare, shopping til you drop
and simply people watching will be happy to know that good food and
the latest fashions aren’t optional here, but the norm in
this overseas department of France - especially in its harbourside
capital, Fort-de-France.
itravel2000 offers accommodations starting at as little as $100
per night all the way up to the famous 5 star Cap Est Lagoon Resort
which will dazzle and delight from its perch on a turquoise lagoon.
By using itravel2000s simple ‘Flight+Hotel’ search
tool, consumers will find a plethora of hotel and accommodations
offerings to suit every taste and budget.
itravel2000 will apply its proven marketing strategies in a
long-term communications program to one of the largest travel
databases of consumers in Canada as well as online to over 7000
consumers per hour at itravel2000.com.
There’s a lot going on in Martinique, but remember, it all
happens on Caribbean time.
