In December, overall tourism activity in Canada was 29.1% below the level reached before the COVID-19 pandemic in December 2019. This was the seventh consecutive month of improvement since May and the highest level of activity since March of 2020.
Despite new restrictions to combat the Omicron variant, increased activity in both domestic and inbound travel kept tourism on the track to recovery in December.
