Welcome Wagon - Winnipeg Mascots welcoming passengers on the hugrug during tourism week

Winnipeg Mascots welcoming passengers on the hugrug during tourism week

Welcome Wagon

First impressions last a lifetime - which is a good thing for you and your delegates if you are arriving in Winnipeg

By: Meetings Winnipeg // July 8, 2018

Make it easy on yourself and enlist Winnipeg's savvy event experts who can roll out the red carpet and pull of a memorable welcome:

Winnipeg Airports Authority Inc. 

While Winnipeg’s James Armstrong Richardson International Airport already greets you with its famed Hug Rug, you can take our Friendly Manitoban hospitality even further by hiring the WAA to do all manner of greetings, including: setting up signs, broadcasting a welcome message over the internal TV system, present fresh flower arrangements, or offer catered snacks and refreshments. The WAA can also arrange a custom special event agreement – with many complimentary services included – to impress visitors as soon as they step off the plane.

Downtown Winnipeg Biz 

The Biz offers free resources and services, including Safe- Walks, dining guides and parking maps for delegates on the go in the city’s core. They also host events, festivals and street parties throughout the year that celebrate life in the centre of the city. Be sure to search #finditdowntown on social media when you are in Winnipeg as it often is the easiest way to see events that are taking place in the city’s core. You can also work with Downtown Winnipeg BIZ directly for promotional offers at many of its restaurants, shops and services.
