Spanish speakers prefer Toronto

On a recent mini-poll in Canadá en Español's Blog de Canadá, blog readers chose Toronto as their favourite Canadian city or the Canadian city they want to visit the most. Vancouver came in second and Montréal third.

-

Not surprisingly that seems to be the order of importance when it comes to the number of visitors from Hispanic countries to each city (although I don't have exact numbers - Vancouver makes sense as second place because of Whistler's popularity in the winter).

-

In 2007, Canada received 403,902 Spanish speaking tourists (not counting Central America and the Caribbean because StatCan's International Travel Advance Information bulletin does not break it down).

-

Mexican inbound tourism broke the quarter million mark for the first time, high loonie notwithstanding (250,633), and Spain and South America saw double digit growth.
