Canadians are Canceling Trips to the USA and 7.7 Mag Earth Quake - Check with Global Affairs Canada

Top Story: Canadians Heading South for the Sun

More and more Canadians are skipping the border drive and heading straight for sunny island escapes like Mexico and Jamaica.

Why the shift? A weakened U.S. dollar, political fatigue, and a craving for laid-back luxury are pushing travelers toward that tropical resort life—think palm trees, beach bars, and turquoise waters.

Better yet, airfare deals and all-inclusive packages are making a strong comeback. So if you’re dreaming of your next escape, now’s a great time to plan. And don’t go anywhere—we’ve got Air Canada vacation savings coming up!

Stay safe, stay smart.
