So there really is such a thing as blind love.

Tourisme Québec and Lg2 did something a little out of the ordinary to get people to think about visiting the province. It gave an American man, who has been blind since birth, the opportunity to feel, taste and hear the sights and sounds of Quebec. Danny Kean’s entire experience, from river rafting to hot air ballooning to shopping to enjoying a roller-coaster ride, was captured and cut into a central piece for the digital and social media-heavy campaign. What’s more, the agency also created an interactive experience to get two sides of the story: Kean’s viewpoint, as well as the perspective of his Quebec native guide — both of whom were complete strangers before they began their journey across the province.
