Seamless Access to the Canadian Rockies

Surprisingly close, yet worlds away, getting to Banff and Lake Louise is easier than many planners think. With direct flights into Calgary International Airport from key cities, the gateway to Banff National Park is a global and well-connected hub. From there, it’s a scenic 90-minute drive into the heart of the park, where natural beauty meets five-star service.

A Proven Destination for Incentives

Earlier this year, Banff and Lake Louise hosted M&I Luxe Americas. The event drew 150 attendees—including 75 top-tier planners from the U.S. and Europe—and resulted in a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 81, one of the highest ever recorded in M&I Luxe history. And the accolades keep coming.

At the SITE Global Conference 2025, Banff & Lake Louise Tourism received the Par Excellence Crystal Award, recognizing incentive programs that give back to the local community.

Elevated Winter Experiences That Reward and Reconnect
