Ottawa Travel and Vacation Show Opens Tomorrow

(Ottawa, Ontario) – March 5th, 2010, With the opening of the Ottawa Travel and Vacation Show tomorrow, Go RVing Canada reports that RV vacations remain the most cost-effective form of travel for Canadians.

Go RVing Canada recently released a cost-comparison study conducted by PKF Consulting, which found that typical RV vacations are up to 75 per cent less expensive per day than any other type of family trip, regardless of trip duration, distance, or location.

To add another component of affordability, Go RVing Canada reports that RV prices are at an all time low.

“We are seeing increased activity and sales in our showrooms as the economy recovers,” said Go RVing Canada spokesperson Catherine Fortin LeFaivre, “so now is absolutely the right time to buy before prices start rising again.”

According to Statistics Canada, there was a significant increase in RV sales during the last quarter of 2009 in Ontario, with RV sales jumping 46% over last year’s. Go RVing Canada expects this trend to continue as the RV and travel show season progresses and summer approaches.

Go RVing Canada will be in attendance at Ottawa’s Travel and Vacation Show, Saturday March 6th and Sunday March 7th at the Aberdeen Pavilion, Lansdowne Park. The event will be a great opportunity for the public to meet the RV lifestyle ambassadors who will be on site to answer questions and talk more extensively about the benefits of RV travel.
