The current state of Canadian tourism was recently reported on the Northumberland View website (2012, January 9, BusinessView: Spending On Tourism Rises In Third Quarter Of 2011, Retrieved January 9, 2012, from http://www.northumberlandview.ca/index.php?module=news&func=display&sid=12472)
According to the site, which gets its information from Statistics Canada, tourism has increased by 0.8% in the third quarter of this past year which equates to a cumulative increase of 8.2%.
The site presents statistics which indicate that tourism at home in Canada has increased by 1.0% and has increased each quarter since 2009 with the exception of one quarter. However, the number of international visitors to Canada have not changed.
With the information indicated on this site, I would assume that the degree of demand would be over 1 as travel is somewhat of a luxury. The information presented would enhance the claims that Canada was not affected as much by the recent global recession as other counties were.
