- Among the nine Canadian cities monitored for this outlook, Calgary and Edmonton are enjoying the fastest rates of growth in overnights visits, thanks to the effects of the energy boom on Alberta’s economy, strong growth in business travel and the province’s centennial celebrations.
- In cities in the rest of Canada, looming passport rules under the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative are adding to the issues bogging down U.S. visits, such as the strong Canadian dollar and record-high gas prices.
- As gas prices ease, automobile travel is expected to pick up next year.
- Strong convention markets are boosting travel to Québec this year and are expected to contribute to the continued recovery in Ottawa’s tourism industry next year.
