Baxter Media’s Managing Editor Ann Ruppenstein was awarded the Best Travel Trade Article for her Las Vegas Supplement at Discover America Day Canada, held yesterday (Oct. 30) in Toronto.
Discover America Canada Day, now in its 16th year, welcomed 27 suppliers, travel professionals and members of the media for a day of learning and networking amongst representatives from some of the top travel destinations in the U.S.
The Las Vegas supplement, which was published in April 2024, highlights some of the destination’s key selling points, including new hotels and accommodations, new attractions and cultural landmarks, and information on how to best explore Las Vegas from the Canadian market.
