-- ALBERTA IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS -- Special Summer Greetings from Alberta While the recent floods in Southern Alberta certainly have put the province on the front line of international media attention, something else didn’t go unnoticed and left the world impressed in a very special way: the resilience, tenacity and the positive spirit of the people of Alberta and their readiness to welcome the world in midst of the tragic events that have happened. Because of this and because of how Albertans come together to create something better and stronger, Southern Alberta has re-opened its doors to international tourism within two weeks of the severe floodings. “Over the past week, Albertans have come together in the flood recovery – a true testament to the kindness and hospitality of our communities,” said Bruce Okabe, Chief Executive Officer of Travel Alberta. “We want to create the best vacation experience possible for travelers and ensure our travel partners have the information they need to help those planning vacations to Alberta -- Alberta is open for business.” Calgary has truly been a special success story on its own and was once again host to the world-famous Calgary Stampede.
