Canada Leisure Travel Market Trends:

Natural Landscapes and Outdoor Recreation

Canada’s leisure travel market is defined by its unparalleled natural assets, spanning vast national parks, mountain ranges, lakes, and coastlines. Destinations such as Banff and Jasper in Alberta, the Rocky Mountains, and Niagara Falls attract millions of visitors annually, combining scenic beauty with well-developed hospitality infrastructure. Adventure tourism thrives with activities like hiking, skiing, kayaking, and wildlife tours, supported by a strong focus on sustainable park management. The northern territories, including Yukon and Nunavut, are emerging as niche destinations for aurora viewing, Arctic cruises, and Indigenous cultural experiences. Seasonal variations fuel demand, with winter drawing ski enthusiasts to Whistler and Mont Tremblant, and summer promoting outdoor festivals and camping holidays. Canadian residents took 330.8 million trips in 2024: 292.1 million were domestic trips and 38.7 million were international, representing a 3.7% increase over 2023. Growing domestic participation, alongside international inflows, ensures year-round activity across diverse regions. These natural and recreational strengths underpin Canada leisure travel market growth.

Infrastructure, Connectivity, and Sustainability

Robust infrastructure and sustainability measures are critical enablers of Canada’s leisure travel sector. International airports in Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary provide seamless global connectivity, while domestic carriers and rail networks improve regional accessibility. Cruise tourism is expanding, with Vancouver and Halifax serving as gateways for Pacific and Atlantic itineraries. Government policies emphasize sustainable tourism, encouraging eco-friendly lodging, green transportation, and conservation-based travel models. In 2024, Canadians are projected to spend an average of USD 8,824 on leisure travel, with 82% planning to maintain or increase their travel budgets and 70% intending to visit Europe. Indigenous tourism is increasingly promoted, allowing travelers to engage with authentic traditions and heritage while supporting community-led enterprises. Digital transformation also plays a role, as mobile platforms simplify bookings and promote destination visibility. Climate-resilient tourism strategies are being implemented to protect natural sites from overuse and environmental shifts.
