Canadian Travel & Tourism Insights

Custom research can be a significant investment, with long lead times. We understand that not all destinations or attractions have the budget or timeline required for a custom engagement, but that teams need deep insights quickly to adapt to the changing environment.

Recognizing this need for accessible, actionable intelligence, we’ve surveyed Canadians to understand their travel intentions and trip preferences over the next 12-18 months, but our approach centers around the core motivators of travel decisions: Social Values.

Behind every planned trip is a traveller with a deep set of Social Values. Social Values represent how we navigate the world according to what is important to us. In the tourism sector, Social Values enable us to tell a more compelling story around travel: moving beyond who is travelling and where they are going, by getting deeper into the why they are travelling and what types of experiences they may be drawn to as a result of their social values.

01

About the study

This isn’t just another travel survey. Our research draws on a national panel of 5,000 Canadians, each profiled on over 100 Social Values constructs and 200 attributes. This depth lets us reveal not just what travellers plan to do, but why—offering richer, more actionable insights.

The study explores Canadians’ travel outlook and intentions for 2025 through 2026, with a distinct focus on how Social Values influence both their travel mindset and destination choices.

  • National survey of n1,516 Canadian Travellers (defined as those 18+, planning at least one overnight leisure trip in the next 12-18 months)
  • Fielded in Q2 2025
  • Participants profiled on over 100+ Social Values constructs in addition to rich demographics

Applying Social Values to Tourism

Our survey respondents have been profiled on over 100 Social Values constructs. This means we can unlock deeper insights around destination preferences, traveller profiles, trip types, and messaging that will motivate them along the travel path-to-purchase.

Two travellers may be identical on paper: Similar age, similar income; but may be fundamentally different from a values perspective. One may be drawn to a remote forest to recharge in the solitude of nature, while the other seeks refuge in the quiet luxury of an exclusive 5 star spa.

Social Values helps us to understand and leverage these similarities and differences to develop and target experiences, products, and messaging that connects more meaningfully with prospective travellers.
