Global Travel Flows: Who's Coming, Who's Going, and Why Canadian Hotels Should Care
Global travel patterns are reshaping demand across Canada, creating new opportunities—and pressures—for hotel owners and operators. This session delivers a clear snapshot of where international visitors are coming from, how fast key markets are recovering, and how outbound Canadian travel affects occupancy and rate performance at home.
We’ll highlight practical opportunities: where to focus sales efforts, how to adjust mix and pricing, which markets offer the strongest near-term upside, and how air capacity, currency shifts, and traveller behaviour are influencing performance.
