A national travel agency says it appears as though Canadians are changing their travel plans due in large part to the changing geopolitical situation.
CAA Atlantic’s Julia Kent says they’re seeing a dip in travel to Cuba, a previously popular vacation destination for many Atlantic Canadians.
Kent says while cruise ship bookings are up, they are noticing some interesting differences from previous years.
That includes a reduction in the number of days passengers spend in the United States both before, and after their cruises. She says geopolitics could be a factor, but the exchange rate may also be a reason. They’re also seeing “a little dip in…the number of snowbirds…going down to the southern U.S. There’s fewer of them than before other seasons.”
