Few Canadian agencies have the depth of experience in hospitality and tourism that Pradinuk Advertising has.

Ron Pradinuk’s career in tourism marketing began in 1971 when he handled all advertising for Saskatchewan Tourism. He worked on that account until 1983. During the same time, he participated on BC Tourism marketing activities from 1972-1975, and Manitoba Tourism from 1971-1977.

Under Ron’s leadership, Pradinuk Advertising worked on the Travel Manitoba advertising account from 1981-1988.

In 1991, Pradinuk Advertising was contracted to deliver its British Columbia Report on Tourism which linked the hospitality sector to the government’s tourism department.

In addition to this, Ron is owner of Renaissance Travel, a major Winnipeg travel agency. This position led him to become active in the Association of Canadian Travel Agents (ACTA). He served on the national board of directors of ACTA for eight years, recently completing a two year term as national president. During this time, he was the main contact for travel industry information throughout Canada. His ACTA position gave him a unique understanding of the issues facing domestic and international tourism by governments, travel distributors and consumers.

Ron currently sits on the Board of Directors of the Winnipeg Convention Centre.
