Vancouver gears up for its busiest convention year ever

As Vancouver gears up for its busiest convention year ever, the local tourism industry is celebrating the city’s success in competing with top destinations from around the world. 
Vancouver will host 33 citywide conventions and events in 2018, an increase from 28 in 2017 and, more importantly, the highest number the city has ever hosted in a single year. 
The tourism industry defines a “citywide” convention or event as one that attracts 1,000 or more out-of-
