In November, overall tourism activity in Canada was 31.6% below the level reached in November 2019, before the pandemic. This was the sixth consecutive month of improvement since such activity hit a lull in May, and the highest level since the pandemic started in March 2020.
With the continued easing of travel restrictions over the summer and into the fall, along with the further re-opening in many provinces, including more stores, restaurants, and arts and entertainment venues, it appeared that tourism was on track for recovery in November.
