Canadians Prefer South America Over the US for Travel
March 19, 2025 - 11:02
Canadians are opting for South America over the US when choosing travel destinations amid trade tensions, says WestJet Airlines. The shift in travel preferences comes as more Canadians seek unique experiences and cultural immersion in diverse landscapes beyond their southern neighbor.
WestJet has noted a significant increase in bookings to popular South American destinations such as Brazil, Argentina, and Peru. Travelers are drawn to the vibrant cultures, stunning natural beauty, and rich histories that these countries offer. Additionally, favorable exchange rates and competitive pricing on flights and accommodations have made South America an attractive option for Canadian tourists.
The airline's data indicates that travelers are increasingly looking for alternatives to traditional vacation spots, with many seeking adventure and exploration in less familiar territories. This trend reflects a broader change in consumer behavior, where Canadians are prioritizing unique travel experiences over convenience. As travel dynamics evolve, South America is emerging as a favored destination for those looking to broaden their horizons.
