CALGARY—The travel industry in Canada has been thrown into a “tailspin” by new federal rules requiring a COVID-19 test before Canadians are allowed back into the country from most international travel, says the Association of Canadian Independent Travel Advisors.
The timing of Transport Minister Marc Garneau’s announcement of the new protocol last Thursday—New Year’s Eve—could not have been worse because many agents had closed their offices for the holiday long weekend, the group said in a statement.
