Alberta is the place to be! We’re seeing record-breaking tourism, with a growing number of international visitors choosing Alberta. It’s amazing to see people from around the world falling in love with our province, just like we all have.

Alberta is #1 again! With over 4.8 million votes, Alberta was officially named the ‘Most Desirable Region Worldwide’ in London by the Wanderlust Reader Travel Awards. Read more: industry.travelalberta.com/posts/articles…

I remember when #indigenoustourism was a nice after thought in the tourism industry in Canada. Times have changed and despite issues we face today, there is no doubt that Indigenous tourism in “core” to how we present Canada to the world. The @ITAC_Corporate team and partners such as @DestinationCAN @IndigenousMB @TravelManitoba and @TourismWPG made #Indigenous culture part of the opening reception at #RVC2025. Buyers from all over the world in Winnipeg this week for RVC and there is 69 ITAC members from throughout Canada, a 23% increase from last year, that are export ready and able to execute sales with international partners from several different countries! Thank you to our ITAC team and building the consumer brand #TheOriginalOriginal! Also amazing to watch the Ivan Flett Memorial Dancers perform for the delegates. Come explore Indigenous cultures this summer. #DestinationIndigenous #ITDF

Not traveling to the United States so not concerned about the precipitous drop in forward bookings on flights to the U.S.? Think again! Most domestic flights in Canada are made up of roughly 1/3 of travelers flying domestically + 1/3 of travelers flying internationally + 1/3 of travelers flying to the U.S. If the 1/3 of travelers headed to the U.S. decide not to travel at all by air, then the economics of those flights dramatically changes. A significant proportion of leisure travel involves habit and tradition. For some families, that annual trip to Florida, Maine, Palm Springs, Hawaii or the Carolinas is a tradition. If that tradition is broken this year, is it replaced by a trip? There's a lot more to this story than meets the eye.
