Connect&GO Selected to Power the Reopening of the Montréal Tower at the Olympic Park

Montreal, Canada – June 2025 – Connect&GO, the global leader in Attraction Management Systems, is proud to announce that it has been awarded the contract to deliver ticketing and access control technology for the Montréal Tower at the Olympic Park (La Tour de Montréal), following a competitive RFP process.

An architectural icon and cultural beacon, the Tower is being reimagined as one of Quebec’s premier tourist destinations. Closed since 2020, it will begin its commercial rollout in Fall 2026, with a grand opening slated for Spring 2027.

With an ambitious target of welcoming 400,000 visitors annually, the revitalized venue is set to become a cornerstone of Montréal’s tourism landscape. Powered by Connect&GO’s flexible, guest-centric technology, the experience will offer a seamless fusion of innovation and heritage—celebrating the Tower’s legacy while embracing the future.

“To be selected for such a symbol of Montreal’s skyline is a tremendous honour,” said Dominic Gagnon, CEO of Connect&GO. “This is more than just a contract—it’s a responsibility to elevate a legacy site that holds meaning far beyond our city.”

From Metro to Skyline: A Reimagined Guest Journey

The guest journey begins at home, supported by integrated sales channels designed to drive conversion and maximize accessibility. From booking to arrival, Connect&GO ensures guests experience a smooth, connected path to the Tower.  

Upon arrival, guests will ascend via a fully glazed funicular, the only one in the world to operate on a curved structure—offering both architectural innovation and breathtaking views of Montreal.

Smart Technology for a Dynamic Pricing Model

The Olympic Park is currently exploring a combination of partner offers and bundled packages to support its premium market positioning. Connect&GO’s flexible platform will provide the tools needed to manage these strategies with precision—ensuring every promotion, upsell, and bundled experience is seamlessly integrated into the guest journey.

“Operators today need more than a ticketing system—they need tools to adapt to guest behavior, optimize revenue, and create curated experiences with confidence.” said Gagnon.

The venue’s upgraded offering includes food and beverage experiences, outdoor terrace access, and dramatic glass floors, all of which position the Tower as a premium experience within the tourism market.

Built for the Realities of Operation

The Montreal Tower will operate on a flexible schedule of up to 6.5 days per week, with Monday morning closures for maintenance and a full January shutdown for annual servicing. Connect&GO’s platform is engineered to adapt to these rhythms, minimizing downtime while providing real-time data visibility and operational confidence throughout the year.

A Montreal lcon, Reborn

The Montréal Tower was built in 1987, eleven years after the 1976 Olympic Games. Today, it remains the tallest inclined tower in the world—and with this reinvention, it’s being repositioned as a world-class cultural destination for both local residents and international visitors.

“We’re not just joining the skyline,” Gagnon concluded. “We’re becoming part of a legacy. That’s incredibly meaningful to our entire team.”
