37% Of Canadians Say Their First Post-Pandemic Vacation Will Be In The US & Here's Why
But 24% of Americans said they'll never feel comfortable visiting Canada again! 🇨🇦🇺🇸
Canadians can't wait to vacation across the border when travel between Canada and the U.S. restarts, according to a new study.
Research by the Travel Health Insurance Association (THIA) found that 37% of surveyed Canadians plan to visit the United States for their first post-pandemic international vacation, with 33% saying they're more likely to travel there than before.
The research found that Canadian travellers are particularly interested in visiting the U.S. due to the success of its COVID-19 vaccination program.
Of those planning to cross the border ASAP, 47% said they were impressed by the American vaccine rollout.
On the other hand, 46% of respondents described the States as a "convenient destination" to reach via car, van or camper and therefore air travel can be avoided.
The feeling may not be mutual though, as a Leger study in May found that Ouch!
