Canada's tourism sector is recovering strongly, with spending surpassing pre-COVID levels in 2023. However, capacity constraints (accommodation, workforce, air access) limit its full potential. A "transformational path" is proposed to unlock an additional $20 billion annually by 2030, reaching $160 billion, through strategic shifts in demand and addressing supply issues. This transformation aims for significant economic benefits and sustainable growth.
