What if your next great road trip led you to coastal cliffs, centuries-old lighthouses, and local seafood so fresh it practically leaps onto your plate? Welcome to Québec Maritime, where the St. Lawrence River guides your journey, the great outdoors steals the show, and authentic human connections are as plentiful as the wildlife.

As a proud sponsor of TBEX North America 2025, Québec Maritime invites content creators to experience the destination that unites four distinctive maritime regions of Québec.

Hidden Gems & Unfiltered Beauty
While many travelers may think of Québec in terms of its urban centers or snowy escapes, Québec Maritime offers a rich, often-overlooked coastal experience. Take the Lighthouse Trail, for example, a magical journey through historic beacons that have weathered centuries of sea air and stories. Or immerse yourself in the diverse landscapes and abundant wildlife that span from the Gaspésie to the Bas-Saint-Laurent, the Côte-Nord and the Îles de la Madeleine.
Whether you’re chasing whales with your lens or craving silence among the trees, this is a destination where nature writes the itinerary and every turn in the road offers something new.

A Destination Rooted in Realness
In a world where destinations fight for fleeting attention, Québec Maritime stands apart with a humble promise: real experiences, rooted in place. Here, road trips are more than Instagram reels, they’re winding, slow-burn adventures punctuated by roadside picnics, market finds, and serendipitous encounters with locals who’ll happily recommend a scenic detour or secret beach.
This authenticity also defines how they work with content creators. Rather than casting a wide net, Québec Maritime cultivates long-term partnerships based on trust and mutual storytelling goals. One shining example is their ongoing collaboration with Andrew Dobson of DobbernationLoves, whose content has brought the beauty of the Gaspé Peninsula to life across blogs and video.

Looking Ahead to TBEX
Québec Maritime is heading into TBEX North America 2025 not just as a sponsor, but as a curious and collaborative partner. Their goal? To better understand the reality of today’s travel creators and explore new ways of working together on human-scale campaigns with lasting impact.
If you’re a content creator with a passion for storytelling, seafood, and serendipity, this is your chance to build something meaningful. While the budget for 2025 projects is spoken for, conversations for 2026 begin this fall and TBEX is the perfect place to plant the seed.
Pro Tip: Want to pitch them? Come prepared with story-driven ideas, highlight meaningful local encounters, and don’t be afraid to showcase your best picnic photos. They’re looking for the kind of content that makes your audience want to pack a bag and hit the road, sea breeze in their hair and binoculars at the ready.
