Tourism video production in Canada
From filming skiing on the Rideau Canal in Ottawa, to producing content being shown at the EXPO (World's Fair) in Osaka, Japan, creative authentic tourism content has been central to Mainspring's video production services over the years. At Mainspring Agency, we frequently partner with towns, counties, provinces, and federal tourism bodies to create films that go beyond promoting a destination, our videos invite people to experience something meaningful.
Our job isn’t just to make pretty visuals... We work collaboratively with partners to grow local economies by helping communities share what makes them special: their stories, their landscapes, their people. Whether we’re filming doc-style branded content for Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO), or crafting international videos with Destination Canada, the goal is the same, selling the feeling.
Video Campaigns that Spark Real-World Travel
Tourism clients of our fast-growing Canadian production company span every level of government — from Destination Canada to Destination Ontario, and across municipalities like Ottawa, Perth, Carleton Place, Renfrew, and Smiths Falls. These aren’t just one-off videos — they’re part of long-term efforts to drive tourism, build brand identity, and support the local businesses that keep these communities going.
And we’ve seen the impact:
- Our work with Ontario's Highlands drummed up local pride and drew visitors to the area through human stories, with videos shared across digital platforms and used at regional events.
- Our commercial for Sport Tourism Canada was premiered at their marquee event, Sport Event Congress in 2025.
- With Destination Ontario, we've been filming and photographing tourism assets for 8 years, and our work has been featured internationally and in major marketing campaigns.
- For Destination Canada, we developed a signature series of videos highlighting the best of every province and territory, which has been playing at the World Expo in Osaka for six months now – bringing a slice of Canada’s natural beauty to a global audience.
" The eight videos drove around 225,000 views and 19,000 social media interactions, earning award nominations, wins, and festival selections. Mainspring managed the project proactively and was responsive to requests. Their storytelling skills and project vision exceeded expectations. "
" They worked on a tight turnaround to deliver a project in time for a crucial window. They were extremely communicative, and proactive in hitting deadlines. We continue to work with them every year. "
How Tourism Videos Help Boost Local Economies
Tourism Industry Association of Canada (TIAC) states that Canadian tourism is a $130 billion industry. When done right, video production plays a key role in that number. Why? Because people consume videos all day long on their phones, and nothing is better than video for selling a feeling. A well-made tourism video bring viewers to the place, draws out sensory and emotional responses from them.
The rise of digital search and social media means visual content is more important than ever. A campaign that includes professionally filmed tourism content — whether it’s a full series or a single destination video — is more likely to be discovered, remembered, and shared.
The Mainspring Approach to Tourism Video Production
We don’t do cookie-cutter. Every tourism campaign we create is tailored to the place and the people and the goals of our clients. That might mean early mornings in the fog, capturing drone shots over lakes, or interviewing a local artist about what makes their town worth stopping for.
We’ve got the gear, the team, and the story instincts to pull it off. But just as importantly, we collaborate with our partners at every step, forming lasting relationships with our clients that last years. Towns, economic development officers, tourism marketers... we treat your objectives as our own.
