Bring on the higher ticket prices Robo troll should be like most Canadians and book a vacation for his mental health, pack lots of disposable diapers
TORONTO — Canadians aren’t letting the high cost of travel stop them from booking their next vacation, says Blue Cross.
According to the new ‘Blue Cross Travel Study,’ Canadians spent an average $4,200 on their last vacation amid a 94% increase in travel costs. While inflation was a barrier to travelling, with over two-thirds (69%) of Canadians saying that it impacted their travel plans in 2023, Canadians still plan to make travel a priority this year. In fact, close to 8 in 10 (79%) say they are planning a trip outside their province or territory in 2024, up 10 percentage points from last year.
This is likely since nearly all Canadians (96%) recognize the benefits of travelling, such as being able to recharge, reducing burnout and improving mental health.
