There are not many places where you can experience the best of city life and get breathtaking views of both the mountains and the ocean. No matter who you are or what you're looking for in a vacation, Vancouver is likely going to be able to service you. If you're a cosmetic dentist Oakville based in the city for a conference and have a few hours off or are planning a family reunion in the area and need a list of family-friendly activities we can point you in the right direction. There are plenty of good reasons why so many people each year choose to spend their time away from their homes in Etobicoke or across the world here in Vancouver.

In 2009, more than eight and a half million people visited Vancouver for at least a one-night stay. About 5.3 million of these are from Canada, with have being from other sections of British Columbia, and 1.9 million from the United States. The remaining visitors are from all over the world and could be joining us from France, Taiwan, or Puerto Vallarta beachfront rentals. The most popular time to visit is in the summer months and the slowest time for the tourism industry is in January and February.

When looking at tourism you need to break down how many people are in the city for conferences and meetings and how many are here for their own leisure. In the same year, about 1.6 million of the overnight visitors were in town due to business and stayed for an average of three nights. While these people may not have spent as many tourist dollars as an Oakville airport limo driver on vacation they still each spent an average of about $275 per day within the city.

There are several attractions that bring people to the area year after year. Stanley Park and the Vancouver Aquarium are must-see spots no matter if you're traveling as a couple or with the entire family. The Vancouver Lookout gives you the best possible view in the city and allows you to see the beauty of the area that matches even staying at PEI beach house rentals. Adventurers need to check out the Capilano Suspension Bridge located in North Vancouver and if you're really looking for some exercise you can ski or climb "The Grind” at Grouse Mountain. This city even has the first authentic classical Chinese garden created outside of China with the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden.

One of the best reasons to visit this amazing city is the diversity in events and people that you will find here. You can start the day at Science World at TELUS World of Science and finish it with some great sushi along Commercial Drive or some shopping on Granville Island. It really is the perfect Canadian vacation spot.
