Destination Canada has registered a growth of 33 per cent in Indian arrivals for the month of March, 2017. With this result, Destination Canada expects that the 150th year celebrations will continue to lure Indians through the year. Pooja Sabharwal, account director, Destination Canada – India, said, “This manifold rise in arrivals figures shows that all the diverse offerings of Canada are being extensively explored by Indian travellers. There has been a sharp increase in the leisure trips to Canada from India owing to the increased disposable income amongst middle and affluent class travellers. Destination Canada’s effort in showcasing the voyagers what’s hidden inside the country is a major contributor to Canada’s dynamic growth. We are hopeful that the country will be gifted with doubled visitor arrivals on its 150th birthday.”
Destination Canada is engaged with the trade on consistent and sustained basis through activities, workshops and networking sessions. It is also focusing on facilitating tourists to Canada by engaging them in multiple social media campaigns, familiarisations trips and more.
