Canada’s tourism industry is facing major labour shortages due to tighter restrictions on foreign workers and declining interest from domestic workers. Prof Wayne Smith notes that the industry also faces seasonality and a lack of affordable housing bit.ly/4vi6RrF

If there is precisely one thing you watch today, make it this. French Senator Claude Malhuret. A microphone. And the most magnificently savage dismantling of the Trump administration ever delivered in a language they almost certainly don’t speak. He covers Iran. He covers corruption. He covers the kind of staggering, industrial-scale incompetence that would get you fired from managing a car park. And he does it with the calm, unhurried certainty of a man who has read every page of the indictment and found it, if anything, worse than expected. France has never pretended to like these people. But this is contempt elevated to an art form. The kind of refined, aristocratic disdain that takes centuries of civilization to produce and approximately ninety seconds to deploy. Malhuret sounds like he is four seconds from the button. Not out of panic. Out of sheer, exhausted disgust. Honestly? Understandable. Watch it. Share it. The adults are speaking.

@DestinationCAN @globeandmail Can you post the article without the paywall?

This is Canada’s moment. 🇨🇦 Tourism is uniquely positioned to advance Canada’s economic priorities. We have the reputation, the product and the momentum. 🔗 Read the full @globeandmail article here: theglobeandmail.com/opinion/editor…

The United States is requiring World Cup visitors from several nations to post cash bonds of up to $15,000 before they can enter the country, a measure that risks pricing out the fans the tournament is supposed to attract. The bond requirement, described by US authorities as a tool against illegal immigration, has alarmed football federations across multiple qualifying nations. It is not yet clear whether players themselves could be affected. European fans, meanwhile, are filing complaints over FIFA’s ticket prices. A World Cup on American soil. $15,000 to get through the door. FIFA charging whatever FIFA feels like charging. The beautiful game, priced accordingly. AGandalv / @Microinteracti1

New York City saw a modest increase in overall tourism last year. But it also experienced a decline in international visitors, mirroring a broader trend across the U.S. travel industry. Roughly 65 million travelers visited the city in 2025 — a 0.7% jump from the previous year, New York City Tourism + Conventions said Tuesday. Domestic visitors increased 1.7% from 2024. There were 12.5 million international visitors, a 3.2% decline from 2024. hubs.li/Q0488jqB0

Je pense que certaines personnes ne réalisent pas à quel point de nombreux monuments français sont impressionnants, somptueux et merveilleux. Nous avons tendance à oublier que la France regorge de joyaux architecturaux.

Canadians made 22% fewer return trips from the U.S. in January - marking 13 straight months of decline. For land border duty free stores, this means growing pressure on small businesses that rely entirely on cross-border travel. It’s time to level the playing field with U.S. competitors.

Canadian travel to the United States has dropped significantly with trips down over 30% compared to 2024 levels. Prof. Frederic Dimanche attributed the decline to political tensions and negative perceptions of the U.S. economic factors. bit.ly/41oijE3
