Ambassador
Québec, Quebec, Canada
STEVE BARAKATT NAMED DESTINATION QUÉBEC CITÉ AMBASSADOR IN ASIA The composer and pianist will take Québec City’s visibility to the next level Québec City, November 22, 2021 – Destination Québec cité is proud to announce that Steve Barakatt, C.Q. has been named ambassador for Québec City and the surrounding area. In his new role he will promote the region throughout Asia. His South Korean tour kicks off this week will be the artist’s first opportunity to showcase Québec City as a must-go destination to audiences and the media. “We are proud to work with an artist from Québec City whose performances and music have delighted audiences for decades on a continent that 60% of the world’s population call home. Steve has an impressive sphere of influence and boundless creativity. We look forward to a fruitful collaboration,” said Robert Mercure, Director of Destination Québec cité. Steve was also instrumental in convincing the team behind the popular Korean television series Goblin: The Lonely and Great God to film a number of scenes in Québec City. Filming in 2016 elevated not just the Québec City region but the province as a whole, which has since become a favourite destination for South Koreans living in Canada. Steve was also involved in the highly popular reality television show My Wife's Secret Recipe . He invited the show’s participants to his historic home in Old Québec for an entire evening of filming, and several million viewers tuned in to watch. These two shows were a major factor in attracting more Asian visitors to Québec City. “The secret is out! I’m very proud of my home town, and I’m not shy about sharing my love of Québec City with all its charms. It’s the inspiration behind many of my special pieces. This new partnership lets us join forces and invite millions of travellers from Asia to visit our beautiful city,” said the musician shortly after his arrival in South Korea to perform in five major cities.
