Ottawa s beleaguered tourism industry is hoping that with more and more Canadians getting vaccinated against COVID-19, some of them might want to come visit the National Capital Region later this year. We are cautiously optimistic, said Ottawa Tourism spokesperson Jantine Van Kregten.
Van Kregten said after several false starts, the industry is eager to welcome back visitors once travel restrictions are finally relaxed, and is urging residents to extend that invitation to their friends and relatives once it s safe to do so.
