Canada’s tourism sector is taking a hit in the wake of world-wide economic uncertainties and political tensions, according to new data released by Statistics Canada.
Visits to Canada from overseas took a nose dive in March compared to the same month last year with a 17.4 per cent drop, a trend that has continued for six straight months, according to the data.
And fewer U.S. residents are crossing the border into Canada, with trips down 6.6 per cent in March on a year-over-year basis.
