Canada: inbound tourism unlikely until late-2022
Canada’s Tourism Minister believes the tourism industry won’t be able to rely on revenue from international visitors for many more months. Randy Boissonnault told CBC News there is unlikely to be any inbound tourists until the third quarter of 2022.
About 78% of tourism spending comes from domestic travellers but spend less than a quarter compared to international visitors.
“Domestic travel is a crucial step but will not be able to fill the revenue gap from the halt of international travel,” said Beth Potter, CEO of the Tourism Industry Association of Canada.
