The Blue Cross Travel Study surveyed 2,072 Canadians who had travelled in the past 12 months, or plan to travel in the next year. According to the results, 81 per cent of Canadian travellers have changed their travel habits due to the rising costs, a 12 percentage point increase compared to last year. Have you changed your travel habits due to rising costs?

The survey found that 36 per cent of respondents are reducing the number of trips they take, while 35 per cent are seeking out cheaper destinations or accommodations. (Respondents were able to pick more than one answer.) Another 31 per cent say they are opting to travel in off-peak season to save on costs, while 25 per cent are choosing to stay closer to home and 22 per cent are shortening their trips. A quarter are choosing to delay or postpone travel plans entirely. Have you done any of the following?

Canadians' travel decisions are also being swayed by geopolitics. The poll found that about half (47 per cent) of Canadians are less likely to visit the U.S. in the next 12 months. However, the survey was conducted after the U.S. election in November, prior to President Donald Trump ramping up tariff threats against Canada. Some Canadians have responded to the threat of tariffs by cancelling travel plans to the U.S. Which apply to you?
