Canadians are on the move more than before
Figures suggest that more Canadians are travelling abroad than ever before, with the US being their preferred destination.
In the third quarter of 2011, foreign visits by Canadian nationals increased by 11.2% in comparison with the previous year, whereas their spending in the US went up by 18%.
Since it is the only country Canadians can visit directly by land America is naturally their favorite destination. The facts that the language is the same, with the exception of Quebecois, and that most Canadians live on the American border help the US become top spot for Canadian outbound tourism.
