Why Partner with Us
Increased Visitations: Being the first of its kind, the business has the potential to attract widespread attention, not only from residents but also from tourists and visitors. This novelty factor can enhance Ottawa’s reputation as an innovative and dynamic destination.
Sustainability: The Avril demonstrates a commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility by repurposing a used OC Transpo bus. This approach not only reduces the carbon footprint associated with bus disposals but also sets a positive example for other businesses in the city to follow suit, thereby contributing to broader environmental efforts
Technological Innovation: Leveraging technology to enhance the tour experience demonstrates a forward-thinking approach. Providing tablets with interactive maps and narrations in multiple languages adds value to the tour and aligns with the ongoing digital transformation in the tourism industry. This integration of technology can position the city as a modern and visitor-friendly destination, catering to the diverse needs of tourists from around the world.
