Tourism officials from North Carolina were in Toronto yesterday to host a trade reception and promote all things North Carolina. State officials are hoping to attract more Canadian snowbirds this year, getting them off the highway to experience all that North Carolina has to offer, including world-class golf, great outdoor activities and numerous annual festivals. North Carolina is also home to Biltmore Estate (in Asheville), America’s largest home and the most visited winery in the US. Pictured at the Toronto event are (l-r) North Carolina’s Canadian sales and marketing team of April Beauchamp (l) and Charmaine Singh (r) with Heidi Walters, manager of International Tourism Marketing for North Carolina.
