Canada's tourism sector has generated a record-breaking revenue of $59 billion between May and August, a six per cent increase compared to the same period last year.
The increase was driven by strong domestic and international travellers, with domestic tourism up seven per cent and revenue from international travellers increasing by 10 per cent.
According to Destination Canada, the revenue was also boosted by international events such as the G7 summit held in Kananaskis Country, Alberta.
Most of the revenue was the result of Canadians choosing to spend their travel dollars within the country.
