Highlights
In February, overall tourism activity in Canada was 37.2% below the level reached in February 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic. This was in line with the seven-month trend of consecutive improvement observed from May to December 2021, excluding January 2022 when overall recovery temporarily slowed.
Although certain restrictions to combat the Omicron variant remained in place throughout most of February, both domestic and inbound travel increased, aiding overall tourism recovery across the country.
