Hôtel Tadoussac, Recipient Of The Grand Prix Du Tourisme Québécois Manicouagan 4-5 Star Accommodations
Baie Trinité, (May 27, 2008) - Hôtel Tadoussac, prestigious hotel establishment within the Manicouagan region, was awarded, for a second consecutive year, the Grand Prix du Tourisme Québécois’ award in the ‘4-5 Star Accommodations’ category.
A landmark within the tourism industry of the Manicouagan region, Hôtel Tadoussac is a gem of a resort, which has welcomed generations of travelers from around the world. Nestled between the sea and mountains, it is located within ‘one of the thirty most beautiful bays in the world’. In the midst of nature, Hôtel Tadoussac will charm you with its picturesque location and exceptional ecotourism opportunities.
The hotel’s approach focuses on the guests’ needs; its associates are constantly aiming to serve. The property offers a concierge service, which takes care of the guest upon arrival and informs them of the different activities and services offered by the hotel and in the surroundings. The hotel’s management has implemented a very useful service for its family-oriented guests, its own Kids Club. Taking just as good care of its limited mobility guests in mind, Hôtel Tadoussac also added reserved parking spaces near its main entrance, while upgrading its parking facilities (a $100,000. investment). Furthermore, the hotel devotes special attention to the training of its associates, in order to ensure high quality and durable tourism practices.
Hôtel Tadoussac clearly demonstrates its willingness in being an inescapable ecotourism destination in Quebec, by emphasizing on the durable development of ecotourism, thus favoring the discovery of a unique environment combining nature, culture and adventure. Its influence to the region’s culture is well demonstrated by its financial commitment to events such as the Festival de la Chanson de Tadoussac (2008 edition: from June 12th to 15th, 2008) (awarded the 2006 Félix) and Du Vent dans les Toiles, a painting exhibition where Quebec painters present their art in the Great Hall of the Hotel (2008 edition: September 5-7, 2008).
