Videotorial: Virginia Beach - A Familiar, Welcoming Escape for Canadians

For Canadians, travel decisions in today’s climate can feel complicated. Virginia Beach wants you to know this: you are genuinely welcome here.

“We know many Canadians have been reconsidering travel to the United States. That hesitation is real, and we do not take it lightly,” says Nancy Helman, director of the Virginia Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau. “Virginia Beach is, and always has been, a destination where you can feel safe, relaxed and at ease. It’s familiar, yet full of fresh discoveries, and we are always glad to welcome you back to the coast.”

Easily reached by road or air, Virginia Beach combines wide sandy beaches with experiences that go well beyond the shoreline. From the vibrant ViBe Creative District to chef-led dining, oyster farms and a growing craft beer scene, the destination balances laid-back coastal living with cultural and culinary discoveries.

For Canadian travellers who value savings, the 2025 Loonie Savers Pass remains a favourite. Created specifically for Canadian visitors, it offers discounts at hotels, restaurants, attractions and outfitters. It’s free, easy to download at VisitVirginiaBeach.com, and instantly delivers more value to every trip. For travel advisors, 

Virginia Beach offers a dedicated planning section with itineraries and inspiration designed to make selling the destination seamless. With the newly-opened Atlantic Park, a $350-million entertainment district backed by Pharrell Williams featuring a surf lagoon, live performance venue, restaurants and retail, the city continues to evolve while staying true to its coastal roots. 

Virginia Beach is where your clients can slow down, recharge and, most importantly, find their happiness. For more information, visit here.
