All fees below represent the pre-tax costs of the 2019 Marketplace, happening in Ottawa, ON Nov.3-6, 2019. All fees are charged in the currency of the country in which the business is based.
Suppliers must be OMCA members to attend. Registration fees are based on the seller company’s membership address. Suppliers include any hotel, accommodation, DMO, attraction, retail or food service looking to have appointments with tour operators*.
*Note: Management Group and National Chain members will be registered as the company listed on the membership; a separate membership and registration is needed for individual hotels or restaurants that are part of those memberships to retain that individual company name.
*An appointment-taking buyer is considered to be an operator that fulfills a minimum of 80 appointments over the 3 day conference. Those that choose not to actively participate in the minimum 80 scheduled appointments will be charged a $350 (plus tax) registration fee and will be responsible for covering their own hotel costs.
