Founded in 1919 by the Automobile Club of Canada, the Tourist Bureau of Montréal, as it was then called, counted seven members, whose goal was to promote the city and its road networks.

Expo 67 and the 1976 Olympics gave Montréal new status as an international city, open to the world. The launch of a first web site in 1995, propelled Tourisme Montréal into a new information age, revolutionizing the organisation's approach to promoting the city as a premier tourism destination.
In 1642, a tiny French colony took root on land once occupied by Iroquoian group. Over the centuries, Montréal became an active commercial centre, then an important metropolis, transformed first by industrialization and then by the development of its service sector.

Montreal have developed a unique brand of culture, constantly seeking to make connections betweenn their French and Québecois heritage and the contributions of other cultures. While the British in particular left a deep mark on the city's economy, institutions and architecture, Montréal is also a strikingly American city.
As a city of immigration where people of diverse origins have always settled and lived side by side, Montréal remains a city of communication, charachterized by the circulation of individuals, idees, goods, capital and technology. The cohabitation of its francophone and anglophone cultures gives these characteristic a unique flavour, making Montréal a fascinating city.
