"Participating at the 2009 World Culinary Travel Expo at EAT! Vancouver show was a great way to showcase our products and services, especially with the announcement of our direct service to Spain from Vancouver. Culinary shows are the perfect tie-in to travel and tourism as we see the increase in trend in special interest culinary travel. The success of last year’s World Culinary Travel Expo at EAT! Vancouver show brought more consumer awareness on our non-stop flights from Vancouver to Barcelona. The season was a success; so much so that we have the direct flights for 2010 Barcelona AND adding Madrid. This year is the perfect opportunity to showcase another new destination, Greece."

WE ARE GREEN AT HEART!
We're making every effort to minimize EAT! Vancouver's impact on our environment.
The 2011 EAT! Vancouver festival is bullfrogpowered with 100% green electricity.
This means that Bullfrog Power will inject carbon-free green power onto
the British Columbia electricity grid to match the amount of electricity
used by this event. Bullfrog’s green power is sourced exclusively from wind
power and low-impact hydro producers who meet or exceed the federal government's
EcoLogoM standard for renewable energy. The Vancouver Convention Centre
has a living roof, seawater heating and cooling, on-site water treatment
and fish habitat built into the foundation of the West Building make it
one of the "greenest" convention centres in the world.
