Stopover Hotel Deals Submission
Turn Connecting Passengers into Overnight Stays
Calgary is launching a pilot stopover program designed to convert international travelers transiting through YYC into overnight visitors. With more than 7 million connecting passengers annually, this program creates a new opportunity for hotel partners to capture incremental demand by offering compelling stopover packages.
Why are Hotel Offer Important?
Hotel participation is essential to the success of the stopover program. Travellers will be motivated to stop in Calgary if the hotel offer delivers clear, compelling value.
We are seeking partners offers that make a stopover feel like a worthwhile addition to the journey, not just a convenience.
What Strong Offers Look Like
We encourage hotel partners to submit offers that are simple, valuable, and easy for travelers to understand.
Examples include:
Stopover rates or discounted night(s)
Complimentary or bundled value (e.g., breakfast, upgrades)
Flexible check-in and check-out aligned with flight schedules
Please note:
Low-impact offers (e.g., small discounts or parking-only offers) are unlikely to influence booking decisions.
