Travel Exclusive: March–April 2018

The Conference Board of Canada’s latest Travel Markets Outlook publication (released in the fall of 2017) suggested that domestic travel in 2018 would continue to expand, albeit at a more modest pace than in the past few years. In large part, the expectations for more modest growth were based on weaker economic growth projections and escalating financial concerns for Canadian households. Despite this more sombre backdrop, the results of the latest Travel Intentions Survey (conducted in March 2018) suggest that the growth momentum of the past few years will continue, at least until this summer.
