Canada represents a significant market for U.S. tourist attractions, and the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex has developed targeted strategies to welcome Canadian visitors. Recognizing the enthusiasm Canadians have for NASA and space exploration, the Kennedy Space Center actively collaborates with travel partners and tourism boards to ensure its offerings are visible in prominent Canadian markets.
The Kennedy Space Center has amplified its presence through tailored marketing campaigns in partnership with Visit Space Coast and Visit Florida. Participation in travel trade shows throughout Canada allows the center to engage directly with travel advisors and tour operators, fostering relationships that benefit both the attraction and those who promote it.
Empowering Travel Advisors
Travel advisors play a crucial role in endorsing experiential destinations such as the Kennedy Space Center. To equip these advisors with the necessary tools for success, the center provides resources, training, and exclusive packages designed specifically for them.
Through collaborations with receptive operators and wholesalers, the Kennedy Space Center offers ticketing and packages that are accessible to travel advisors. Products like admission bundles, which include experiences such as a "Chat with an Astronaut," and specialized tours are available via major tour operators and Online Travel Agencies (OTAs). This streamlines the process for travel advisors, enabling them to create comprehensive, commissionable packages for their clients.
Exciting New Developments
The Kennedy Space Center continues to evolve, ensuring that each visit offers something new and exciting. This holiday season, the center will revive its popular "Holidays in Space" event. A standout feature this year is a new nighttime drone show, showcasing "Starflake," a celestial character who navigates through NASA’s remarkable history—from the Apollo missions to the latest Artemis explorations. Furthermore, a special event called "Kennedy Under the Stars: Holiday Edition" will transform the visitor complex into a holiday wonderland on December 19 and 20.
In addition to these festive offerings, the Kennedy Space Center is preparing to unveil an innovative experience that further immerses guests in the tale of human spaceflight. While specifics are yet to be disclosed, this new attraction will enhance existing exhibits like The Gantry at LC-39 and Gateway: The Deep Space Launch Complex®. Visitors can look forward to discovering the latest advancements as NASA works tirelessly to prepare for the Artemis missions to the Moon and beyond.
For travel advisors looking to promote the Kennedy Space Center, these exciting developments mean there will always be fresh and inspiring experiences to share with their clientele. Learn more about what the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex has to offer at Kennedy Space Center.
