June Travel Part 1 - Relais Chateaux Hotels

The Post Hotel & Spa, Lake Louise, Alberta

Dear Colleague,

Although it is still officially spring, summer has arrived in western Canada in the guise of hot sunny weather. In fact, Vancouver Island is setting record high temperatures for this time of year.

During my visit to Texas in May, I discovered business is booming in Dallas and the recession seems to be over. Lets hope this good news spreads to the rest of North America.

For those of your clients who are leaving travel decisions to the last minute, our represented properties have plenty of space available for summer and fall. We encourage you to check out our special offers.

Although the US dollar has fallen in value recently, the exchange rate with the Canadian dollar is still in favor of the US dollar.

Travel agents who are in the neighborhood of the Post Hotel in Lake Louise or the Chateau de la Chevre dOr on the Cote dAzur, France, may contact Moira Fitzpatrick to arrange a site inspection of the property plus a complimentary lunch for two.

For reservations and brochures or to VIP your clients please contact Moira Fitzpatrick of Exquisite Hotels & Resorts at 1-604-602-1282 or

All best wishes,

Moira
