Data Insights Dashboard

It is designed to be the definitive source of truth on domestic travel trends for provincial and regional DMOs, as well as tourism operators. This market research initiative will continuously monitor how Canadian travel consumers perceive Canadian destinations and evaluate their overall travel perception and behaviour, helping to inform business decisions related to destination and experience development and investment attraction.
