This Quebec Travel Destination Is Globally Famous But Apparently Nobody Can Pronounce It

Travelling across Canada is an adventure in itself, but pronouncing some of its iconic destinations is another challenge altogether. Even former U.S. President Barack Obama once stumbled over "Mississauga" during a 2016 state dinner.

But Quebec is filled with plenty of its own tongue-twisting locales. Given its French heritage, it's no surprise some of its spots can be tricky for non-French speakers. However, even Quebec can't claim places with names as challenging as Pekwachnamaykoskwaskwaypinwanik Lake — a mouthful found in Manitoba.

20 Quebec Destinations Will Have Round-Trip Flights For $500 Or Less This Summer

The provincial government has announced a plan to make flights within Quebec cheaper and promote air service to more remote destinations. The plan includes a $500 limit on the price of round-trip intra-Quebec flights to select destinations in outlying regions. That price cap will take effect in the summer of 2022 once government subsidies kick in.

Following the announcement, the government released a map of the eligible air routes. They include direct flights from Montreal or Saint-Hubert to Mont-Joli in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region, Saguenay, Baie-Comeau, Sept-Îles, Chibougamau in the Nord-du-Québec region, Val-d'Or, Rouyn-Noranda, and, perhaps most excitingly, the Îles-de-la-Madeleine.

Quebec Tourism Leaders Want Canada To End Mandatory PCR Tests For Vaccinated Travellers

Canada may have announced that it would scrap PCR tests for travellers taking short trips of 72 hours or less, but according to Quebec business leaders, this isn't good enough to curb the toll that COVID-19 measures have taken on tourism.

The Canadian Travel and Tourism Roundtable, a coalition of representatives from those industries, along with other industry leaders in Quebec released a statement calling on the federal government to stop requiring fully vaccinated travellers to get PCR tests before re-entering Canada — regardless of how long they've been out of the country.

Out-Of-Province Tourists Are Stressing Over Quebec's Vaccine Passport

As Quebec unveils more details on its COVID-19 vaccine passport, tourists from out of province are still in the dark as to how the system — the only provincial vaccine passport to be announced in Canada so far — will impact them.

"I don't know how that'll work because we don't have vaccine passports," said Amanda Diodato, 28, a native Montrealer who's been living in Toronto for eight years. Diodato said she has parents, grandparents, friends, aunts and uncles in Montreal who she plans to visit.
