American visitors to Canada 2011-2024, by month and mode of transportation

Description

The chart shows the number of American visitors to Canada by month from 2011 to 2024. A clear seasonal pattern emerges, with peaks occurring during the summer months, indicating the popularity of summer travel to Canada. This trend remained consistent until early 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic caused an unprecedented decline in travel, with visitor numbers dropping to near zero as borders closed and restrictions were imposed. Starting in mid-2021, there is a gradual recovery, with visitor numbers rising back towards pre-pandemic levels by 2022-2023. However, the overall recovery appears uneven, with fluctuations in 2023 indicating potential ongoing impacts from travel disruptions or changing travel preferences.
