Benefits for all plans
Saguenay hosts up to 80 major business and sporting events annually. These events are great machines of economic, tourism and social development for the region. And they benefit everyone: organizations and their members, organizers, the community and visitors.
Business and sports tourism is a breath of life for the entire region.
- It injects $4 to $7 million into the regional economy per year.
- It extends the tourist season and ensures that jobs that would otherwise be seasonal last all year.
Hosting an event in Saguenay is a powerful way to showcase your organization’s leadership.
- An invaluable opportunity for your teams to take part in an inspiring, innovative project.
- And an opportunity to highlight the know-how and skills of local specialists and to celebrate them.
For participants, experiencing an event in Saguenay means uncovering one discovery after another, each one a pleasure.
- Majestic environment
- Warm welcome
- Unique activities for guests to experience
For you, as an ambassador, this is the chance to contribute concretely to the region’s collective wealth in the long term, while experiencing an exhilarating adventure.
Each year, the Office du tourisme et des congrès de Saguenay recognizes ambassadors who have held an event in the territory during a highly anticipated evening among the community of ambassadors.

Our ambassadors’ testimonies
“We are very pleased to have been able to count on the financial support of Promotion Saguenay for the organization of the 40th ATEFQ convention held in Saguenay in November 2023. The quality of the turnkey service offered for the organization of the marché des saveurs with local artisans and the sightseeing tour of the region were highly appreciated. These two activities allowed our delegates from all regions of Quebec to come and enjoy the warm welcome and distinct experiences offered by the Saguenay region.”
Annie Bertrand—Treasurer and Coordinator, annual Association des techniciens en évaluation foncière du Québec 2024 conference
“The Guilde du jeu vidéo du Québec is very pleased to have been able to count on Promotion Saguenay’s support for the organization of La Caravane, its regional tour of video game entrepreneurs. Whether through logistical support or developing programming and finding the most appropriate venues to hold our group events, their team was available and gave us valuable advice. We look forward to returning to Saguenay for one of our upcoming events, or simply to visit a region with a bustling economy and a thousand and one enchanting sights.”
