The Canadian Tourism Industry’s sufferings has been immense in recent times due to the pandemic COVID-19. As part of these sufferings there has been some recent developments that are in place as well. These are to encounter the impacts of the pandemic in the North-American continent. Furthermore, one of them has been the closure of the Canadian- US border. The border has been closed since a while now and there is an ongoing push from the Canadian Govt. to open borders for the sake of tourism & promotions of tourism activities.
Many tourists from the neighboring country United States visit Canada annually by road for tourism purposes. The closure has impacted the numbers by huge margins as travel restrictions has been in place as well i.e. Air travel from across the border. In terms of annual generation of revenues from the Tourism sector Canada, there have been huge impacts. In addition to this, they can be highly devastating in future. The main reason is as it would take a while to recover from all the incurred losses.
The Canadian Travel and Tourism Roundtable is as organization that comprises of members of travel & tourism sector in Canada. In an open letter to the PM Justin Trudeau, the request has been placed very openly. This request has been for the reopening of the Provinces, territories, and country to travel. Hence, laying special emphasis on The Canadian-US Border.
