WestJet's inflight ‘up! Magazine' announced the winning 200 businesses offering the best travel values from all the airline's destinations. The July issue lists all the winners-from hotels to golf courses, to restaurants, spas and family attractions-that offer the best bang for the travel buck.

Passengers voted for places, businesses and events that deliver a great bang for their travel buck and provide a high-quality and unique travel experience that over-delivers when compared to other similarly priced offerings.

Tom Gierasimczuk, editor of up! magazine stated in his congratulatory letter "Simply put, the benefits and rewards of the travel experience that you offer are greater than the cost."

"This vote by WestJet's passengers on the value of visiting and enjoying our 104 year old National Historic Site is very much appreciated," said Dave Cowen, general manager of The Butchart Gardens.
