Sydney, AU, 2012-07-27 — /travelprnews.com/ — Seven Network’s The Amazing Race Australia has announced its next leg on Canadian soil: Alberta, Canada.

After wrapping up episode 9 in Vancouver, British Columbia, new challenges and drama await in the Western Canadian province of Alberta.

Promotions for the Alberta episode share glimpses of a Rocky Mountain winter wonderland with dogsledding adventures, powder skiing, ice climbing and breathtaking landscapes.

All will be revealed when Episode 10 of The Amazing Race Australia airs on Seven after the 2012 Olympics.

“Australia is a key tourism market for our province, so the opportunity to showcase our made-in-Alberta adventures to more than a million viewers is very exciting,” said Christine Cusanelli, Minister of Alberta Tourism, Parks, and Recreation.

To support the launch of Alberta’s new tourism brand, Travel Alberta recently released a video entitledRemember to Breathe which has seen over 1.3 million views on YouTube. The video entices travellers with breathtaking scenery and adventures in Alberta.

“We are thrilled to be running scenes from Remember to Breathe as TV commercials during Episode 10 screening of The Amazing Race Australia,” said Cusanelli. “Alberta’s new tourism brand is a powerful expression of what makes this province such a unique and attractive destination, both for visitors and for residents. It is the promise we make to our visitors.”
