Cologne, January 2011 – The North American Destination Management specialist Uniquely Northwest, a member of the EastWest Travel DMC Group, offers clients to experience wild polar bears in their natural habitat as part of your high-end incentive program. “We are very excited to be the first Destination Management Company being able to offer exclusive polar bear viewing opportunities for our clients”, says Malte Kluetz, President of Uniquely Northwest.Every autumn polar bears assemble in Churchill/Manitoba on the shores of the Hudson Bay as they wait for the sea ice to freeze and prepare for their seal hunt. Nowhere in the world can humans and polar bears come closer than in Churchill.
Groups can securely view the biggest land predators from special tundra vehicles that are designed to protect passengers and animals alike. Professional guides will lead the group through thrilling bear encounters in a cozy and well heated surrounding. Guests can even stay overnight in a custom-designed tundra lodge right in the middle of polar bear territory to experience the magnificent animals up-close and around the clock.
“We can also provide exclusive access to the extraordinary polar bear viewing facilities for your incentive group”, says Franka Boehme, Director of Western Canada.
Polar bear viewing times range from mid-October to mid-November. Incentives are tailor-made and are designed for four to five days. They are great on their own but also ideal to complement any program in Toronto or Vancouver. Churchill is easily accessible through Winnipeg International Airport with connections to all major cities in North America.
