Canada Market Overview

Canada Inbound Tourism Snapshot - Growth Market

Canada and the United States (U.S.) enjoy a unique relationship. The Canada-United States partnership is forged by shared geography, similar values, common interests, deep personal connections and powerful, multi-layered economic ties. A secure and efficient flow of goods and people across the border are vital to both countries’ economic competitiveness and prosperity.
 
Over 85% of the Canadian population lives within 150 miles of the U.S. border. As such, millions of Canadians have a strong emotional connection with the U.S.. On November 8, 2021 the U.S. allowed fully vaccinated foreign nationals to cross the land borders from Canada for nonessential purposes. Due to easing of restrictions for fully vaccinated residents, the number of Canadians flying back from the U.S. rose approximately 4.5 times since the start of the pandemic. Snowbirds and Millennials will be leading the way back to travel’s recovery. The Canadian Snowbird Association estimates that around 30 per cent of its more than 110,000 members will head to the United States Sunbelt this winter. As well, with children between five and 11 becoming eligible to be vaccinated against COVID-19, some families are looking toward their first spring vacation in two years. Travel agents expect more direct flights to sunny destinations south of the border will be added in 2022.
