March 2010 - rebound in international inbound tourism to Canada - Vancouver 2010 effect?

The numbers for inbound travel to Canada for March 2010 are in. While the US inbound numbers were soft and still down compared to March 2009, most international markets saw significant improvement. Even the decline of the inbound Mexican market, that has been hurt by the imposition of visas since July 2009, seems to be recovering. See the official StatCan Advance Travel Information Bulletin here.

Europe was up 17.4% compared to March 2009
Asia up 6.3%
Mexico and the Caribbean down 8.2%
South America up 12.7%
Australia, New Zealand and other Oceania up 25.1%
