The article published Friday is the second major American publication to mention Quebec City as a destination to visit during the winter holidays after CNN Travel.

Strolling the European-style streets and soaking up French-inspired traditions while remaining in North America is what the magazine promises its American readership.

Quebec City stands out, according to Vogue, with its festive atmosphere and unique facilities. We recommend visiting the German Christmas Market and the Artisan Fair and of course, for tourists who want the full experience, to spend a stay at the Château Frontenac, which offers a view of the fortifications, overlooking the St. Lawrence.

Very positive for Quebec City

“It is certain that credible and unsolicited publications like CNN Travel et Vogue have an impact on tourism in Quebec City,” says Félix Tremblay, public relations manager for Destination Québec cited. “One of the most important markets is the American market and we can expect that these items, which are mainly intended for Americans, will have a positive impact on tourism in the city,” he adds.

For several years, the Quebec region has stood out as a winter tourism destination. The Quebec Carnival is a good example of an event intended to attract tourists to the city during the winter.

Mr. Tremblay explains that more and more people are planning their trips at the last minute. Quebec, which is marketed as a European city in North America, is therefore very popular during the holiday season.
