Canada Tourism

Tourism growth to support inbound travel recovery. Canada’s travel sector has shifted since trade tensions with the United States emerged. Visits by U.S. residents declined 3.0 per cent annually last year, contributing to a 0.6 per cent drop in total international arrivals. Although U.S. travel began recovering in the second half, visitor volumes remained below their 2024 level. In contrast, visits from non-U.S. travellers rose a robust 7.5 per cent, supported by a 9.1 per cent increase in the number of tourists. Inbound travel is projected to continue recovering this year, led by overseas markets — particularly Europe and Asia during the summer peak.
