VANCOUVER AS A DESTINATION

"You're gorgeous, baby, you're sophisticated, you live well...Vancouver is Manhattan with mountains. It's a liquid city, a tomorrow city, equal parts India, China, England, France and the Pacific Northwest. It's the cool North American sibling." - The New York Times

"You may have heard that Vancouver is a great city, but it's better than that. On a good weather day - and we had a spectacular five-day run in the middle of the Games - it is stunningly beautiful, and it is an excellent eating, drinking and shopping city ." - The Boston Globe

"Vancouver looked gorgeous on TV ... NBC's shots of Vancouver's downtown and waterfront, and aerial views of Whistler ski areas, provided a media boost no marketing campaign could have delivered ." - The Seattle Times

"Vancouver is a city unlike any other. Wherever I look, I see water or mountains -- or both. And everyone looks so healthy." - The Daily Telegraph (UK)

"A remarkable environment. The license plates read 'Beautiful British Columbia' for a reason. The Sea-to-Sky Highway carries travelers on a jaw-dropping journey from the serenity of Vancouver's waterfront to the majesty of Whistler and Blackcomb mountains." - The Buffalo News

"In winter, the heart of downtown [Vancouver] is 30 minutes from the ski slopes. In summer, sun seekers crowd its beaches and seaside promenades. And despite a rain-prone climate, it displays a perpetually sunny disposition. Consider it the supermodel of North American cities." - USA Today

"Vancouver is one of North America's most under-rated tourist destinations. It is a modern, travel-friendly city with a unique mix of cultures. The relatively mild Pacific Northwest climate and an energetic restaurant and nightlife scene are other features that make this such an attractive city ." - LowFares.com

"[Visitors] will find the streets of Vancouver, a city of 2 million, so spotless they'll think Mr. Clean is the mayor." - The Miami Herald

"By the end of the 17 days that featured unseasonably warm temperatures and more than a week of brilliant sunshine, the cherry blossoms were blooming and a few fans had been spotted wearing shorts in the street while raucously celebrating Team Canada's dramatic overtime victory over the Americans in the hockey final." - The Salt Lake Tribune

"Olympics visitors have become a travel marketer's dream as they bask in the Vancouver sun, flock to competitions and pour into downtown venues. The throngs of Games guests are magnets that should pull even more tourists to B.C. in the coming months and years." - The Montreal Gazette

"The city of Vancouver and the ski village of Whistler are terrific hosts for these Olympic Games. The air is clean, the public transit is scarily efficient, and the harbors, with snowcapped mountains for a backdrop, are picturesque. Whistler, two hours to the north and home to the skiing, sliding and Nordic events, is a winter wonderland." - Time
