US Sentiment for Travel to Canada

Destination Canada’s latest US Sentiment Report reveals how US residents feel about travelling to Canada (November 15-22, 2022). Here are the highlights:
• After seeing a spike in enthusiasm to visit Canada last month following eased border restrictions, likelihood to travel to Canada in the next 9 months has decreased (39%, down from 53%), but remains higher than levels seen in the months prior.
• Canada remains among the top desired foreign destinations that Americans most want to visit in the next 12 months, second only to Italy, and slightly ahead of the UK and Mexico.
• There is a continuing upward trend in perception that Canada is safe to travel to – this safety sentiment is shared by two-thirds (67%) of Americans.
• At the same time, 60% of respondents indicated that they consider Canada to be easy and safe to travel to, while 77% are excited to embark in a leisure travel trip within the next 12 months, both being positive trends compared to the previous months.
• 42% of US travellers feel that transport costs are a consideration that would prevent them from visiting Canada, a stable trend since July as inflation arises as a global travel issue.
• For those who were likely to travel to Canada, 30% are likely to visit Ontario, with the province being ahead of BC (24%) and Québec (20%).
