On November 29th TIAC and Visa Canada released the

2017 Summer Travel Snapshot.

International Visa cardholders spent $4.4 USD billion in Canada from May to September 2017, according to the 2017 Summer Travel Snapshot released today by Visa Canada and the Tourism Industry Association of Canada (TIAC). The report highlights a 12.1% increase over what visitors spent in 2016, with the United States once again ranked the top spender, followed by China and France.

"The Travel Snapshot provides invaluable insights tourism businesses are able to capitalize on, as visitor spending patterns and impact from market trends are reflected in the numbers" said Charlotte Bell, President and CEO, TIAC. "With 2018 forecasting even higher numbers of expected inbound travel, this report aligns with the path TIAC has set for companies across Canada to be ready to meet the demands of an increasingly competitive international visitor market."
