Toronto, Ontario, Canada, May 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As the May 22nd Victoria Day holiday marks the unofficial start of the summer season, leading online travel agency CheapOair.ca is sharing insights into the top Canadian, U.S. and international destinations booked by Canadians for the upcoming summer season.
Through its comprehensive travel trend monitoring of web site bookings between June 1 and August 31, 2023, CheapOair.ca has highlighted key insights that show Canadians are ready to make the most out of their summer vacation time.
Key Insights
- Backyard travel to domestic destinations continue to lead the charge, possibly driven by the high international currency conversion and more cost-effective flight options.
- Star-struck travellers are flocking to popular U.S. locations with frequent direct flights and well-known attractions, in particular New York and Los Angeles.
- Key international booking insights found that Manila has grown to become the number one destination outside of Canada, which is exciting to see as Canada has a large – and fast growing – Filipino community.
- Furthermore, European destinations that are rich in culture and history are entering the top 20 this year and seeing significant bookings, particularly Rome, Athens and Lisbon.
