Canadian Trips to U.S. Up Just 3% in October as Recovery Slows
Canadian travel to the U.S. ticked up again in October — but the recovery to 2024 levels remains a long way off.
Canadian trips to the U.S. up just 3% in October as recovery slows
In October, the number of visits by Canadian travelers to the United States rose by a modest 3% compared with the same month a year earlier, signaling a slowdown in the post-pandemic recovery for cross-border travel.
The data point reflects overall travel activity between the two countries and indicates that the pace of recovery has cooled in the latest reporting period. It suggests that volatility in demand and other factors may be influencing Canadian outbound trips to U.S. destinations.
