Highlights
In January, overall tourism activity in Canada was 43.4% below the level reached before the COVID-19 pandemic in January 2019. This was the first monthly reversal after seven consecutive months of improvement and the largest overall decrease in tourism activity since April 2020.
With the imposition of restrictions to combat the Omicron variant across the country, declines in both domestic and inbound travel halted tourism recovery in January.
