Thursday, April 23rd, 2009
Image by Getty Images via DaylifeThe latest Canadian Tourism Commission Global Tourism Watch South Korea report found the local economy has a negative outlook due to inflationary pressures, a weak Won, faltering domestic demand and deteriorating prospects for exports.
But Canada has gained ground over some competitors, emerging as an outdoors destination market leader alongside Australia.
Canada has also made inroads with South Korean nature lovers, the tourism commission notes.
Urban centres such as Montreal, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver also attract Koreans. The wellness travel market in South Korea is hot, so there’s potential for Canadian spa-or resort-related vacations.
The Global Tourism Watch is a survey conducted by Harris/Decima Research, in which thousands of participants from around the world comment on how they perceive Canada and CTC’s “Canada. Keep exploring” tourism brand.”
