Travel Benefits For Canadian Travelers

The CBC is reporting today on a study of travel benefits for consumers

"Among those who took a trip for pleasure, almost two-thirds (63 per cent) said their main reason for taking the trip was a desire for rest and relaxation. The next most popular benefit cited was a desire to keep family ties strong. A full 48 per cent of all travellers responded that renewing personal connections and building lasting memories with spouses and children was a highly important benefit of vacations."

Needless to say the top 2 benifits can be found here in Canada, and specifically in Ontario. Check out the Family Getaway section of the Ontario Travel North website.

Ontario Travel: Where does Southern Ontario End?

How far north is the real north, or ture north or Canada north?? Where does Northern Ontario start? This ongoing question has been an enigma for years. Unfortunately northern Ontario boundaries tend to change and shift depending on governments looking for votes in so called boundary ridings. In reality, Northern Ontario is more about perception in the eyes of potential tourists, visitors, or southern Ontario residents. See Northern Ontario . Participate in our blog discussion and tell us where Northern Ontario starts. Photo: Green Wilderness Lodge, Gogama Ontario
