Savvy travellers know that for good tips on the best things to see and do in a destination, ask a local.
Recently the Canadian Tourism Commission took that concept a step further with a Locals Know campaign, which asked Canadians to nominate the best spots and events in the country.
From the 3,000-plus stories, photos and comments uploaded to the Locals Know site, the CTC developed a Top 10 Hidden Travel Gems list. The list is based on the number of views generated on the campaign website.
The Top 10 most-viewed spots are:
1. Georgian Bay, Tobermory, Ont.
2. Itcha Ilgachuz Provincial Park, Chilcotin Uplands, B.C.
|
3. Athabasca Sand Dunes, Lake Athabasca, Sask.
4. Caribana, Toronto.
5. Writing on Stone Provincial Park, Milk River, Alta.
6. Long Beach, Vancouver Island, Tofino, B.C.
7. The Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre, Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre, Que.
8. Dusk at Providence Bay Beach, Manitoulin Island, Ont.
9. Norstead Viking Village, Norstead Viking Village, Newfoundland & Labrador.
