Getting Australian travellers to discover Canada with music and sound


Destination Canada and Spotify are launching a campaign to get Australians to discover Canada.

There are two options: Turn It Up matches users with a bustling Canadian city and Take A Breath pairs users with the landscape and wilderness of Canada.

Turn It Up recommends users a Canadian city based on their musical tastes and shares a personalized playlist with that city’s music.

The Take a Breath option will also use the Spotify API to match users with relaxing nature vacation spots in Canada like The Rockies and Rugged West Coast.
