19、travel to EuropeCanadian travel intentions for Europe stagnateRegardless of expanded connectivity between Europe and Canada over the past months2,Canadian sentiment for overseas travel between September and December 2024 remains largely unchanged from 2022 and 2023.39%of respondents express a desire
20、 to visit Europe during this period,with the strongest interest seen among younger travellers(18-27)and middle-aged groups(35-49).Up until the summer 2024,Canadian travel to European destinations showed a mixed picture,with some destinations reporting declines in arrivals or nights compared to the p
21、revious period,while others reported growth.3 In June,however,the Canadian government updated travel advisories for several European countries due to an increased terrorism threat,potentially reducing travel interest for the summer and autumn months.4 Additionally,high travel costs,preferences for c

23、ptember-December 2023,potentially caused by growing fears about the economy and rising unemployment.5 Despite this cautious enthusiasm,Europe retains strong loyalty among Australian travellers,as 64%of those planning a visit are repeat visitors.In the meantime,the interest in destinations beyond Eur
24、ope has grown(+9%)since the same period last year,with 32%of respondents wishing to visit other regions.This shift is largely driven by the high cost of travel to Europe(37%)and a growing desire to explore other parts of the world(28%).Additionally,the September to December period aligns with Austra
