Travel to Canada still low compared to other years - The good news is that the number of visitors to Canada from both the U.S. and overseas increased over October. The bad news is that these numbers are still the lowest in 25 years.

Same-day car travel from the U.S. had been falling since April 06, but increased in November by 1.5% (1.1 million trips.) Overnight trips from the U.S. were down marginally. But overall travel from the U.S. was up to 2.3 million trips -- an increase of 0.6% over October.

Travel from overseas visitors was up 2.1% to 379,000 trips. Most of the increase came from South Korean and Indian visitors.

Meanwhile, Canadians are travelling out of the country at record rates. Trips to the U.S. were at the highest level since Jan. 2001, and trips in November to overseas destinations increased by 1.3% over October.
