Compared to August of last year visits to Canada from the United States were down 4.2% as the high dollar and other issues continue to erode our biggest market (visits by air were down just 1.3% , but being August we hoped the numbers would be at least flat).
Mexico continues its meteoric rise as an important market for Canadian tourism with an increase of 17.9% in visitors from that country compared to August last year.
But the star in August was Spain with a whopping 18.8% increase.
More to come about Hispanic markets very soon.
Saludos,
Jaime
