Leaders of industry groups representing the Canadian travel and tourism sector are calling on the federal government to lift some border measures, saying Canada’s reputation as a tourist-friendly destination depends on it.

“The travel, tourism, and hospitality sectors were the hardest hit during the pandemic. Necessary public health restrictions shuttered many of our businesses, most of whom barely made it to the other side,” said Susie Grynol, president and CEO of the Hotel Association of Canada.
