This week, Arlington Convention and Visitors Service (All in Arlington)'s own Destiny Esper, MSOL teamed up with our Northern Virginia Tourism Partnership colleagues to bring the stories of Northern Virginia — Virginia’s Cultural Region — to Toronto for Discover America Canada. From connecting with Canadian media to diving into all that makes Arlington and Northern Virginia unique, we shared our region’s commitment to sustainability, rich historical landmarks, beautiful green spaces, vibrant culinary scene, renowned arts, and much more. We’re truly grateful for the strong relationships we’ve built with Canadian media and the warm welcome from Canadian visitors who find something new and special each time they come to Northern Virginia. It’s our mission to provide authentic, memorable experiences that showcase the spirit and diversity of our region and keep our northern neighbors coming back. A heartfelt thank you to everyone in Toronto who welcomed us. We can’t wait to continue sharing Virginia’s Cultural Region with Torontonians and Canadians everywhere!
