A city in Asia just dethroned US cities as Canadians' top travel destination
Winter has just begun, and people are already done with it, with many planning to escape to warmer climates. And one Southeast Asian city is already the most booked destination among Canadians in 2024.
According to new AI travel technology from Momentum Ventures, which gathered consumer data from Canadian online flight provider FlightHub and from Justfly, a US online flight provider, Canadians and Americans are both headed to Manila, Philippines.
But having the most flight bookings doesn’t mean travelling there is cheap.
“This new data reveals a geographic change as the United States was previously the top travel destination amongst all Canadians, according to data gathered in November,” reads a statement from Momentum Ventures. “It is also interesting to note that the popular destinations for this season aren’t necessarily the least expensive ones.”
