A Message from Randy Williams, President and CEO of Tourism Calgary

Calgary's destination marketing organization

Randy Williams

On behalf of Tourism Calgary and our industry partners, I would like to extend a warm welcome to the delegates of the 2011 Inter-American Development Bank IIC Annual Meeting.

More than a million Calgarians welcome you to their home! A home overflowing with traditional western hospitality; where prairie meets mountains, where heritage meets innovation, and where the world comes to be swept off its feet by the sheer majesty of the Canadian landscape.

Tourism Calgary is confident you will find our city to be a combination of cosmopolitan attractions with world-class hotels, restaurants, shopping and arts while offering small town friendliness, safety and ease of access. We hope to fill your memories of our city with experiences that move and excite you.

Our global economy depends upon business and financial leadership through partnership and collaboration. We salute Inter-American Development Bank as the 2011 Annual Meeting is a visible example of these principles.

Tourism Calgary would like to thank the hundreds of volunteers and workers who have contributed to making the event successful. We are proud to be hosting you in 2011.

Welcome to Calgary!

Randy Williams
President & CEO
