TORONTO While travel is gradually reopening in places like Europe – and already skyrocketing, relatively speaking, in the U.S. – here at home the expectation is for another made-in-Canada summer when it comes to travel plans.
In fact there’s been a lot of talk about domestic travel over the past couple of weeks, and with good reason. Rendez-vous Canada 2021, better known as RVC+ 2021, took place May 17 – 20, with Destination Canada playing virtual host to more than 1,500 delegates and helping to facilitate some 22,000 connections between buyers and suppliers.
That was followed by TIAC’s Tourism Week, on now through May 30. To launch Tourism Week in Canada, TIAC is asking all Canadians to take the 2021 Tourism Pledge to travel in their home country this year.

Hundreds of seats on two special flights intended to bring stranded Hongkongers home from Britain after the end of a coronavirus travel ban were snapped up in two hours on Thursday, in a process marred by a crashed booking site, phone calls that went unanswered, and what some called a “Hunger Games -style dogfight” for tickets.
Some people the Post spoke to described trying simultaneously on as many as six computers, waiting more than an hour at the end of a service helpline, and texting each other in a WhatsApp group over their shared misery and desperation.
On March 29, Hong Kong authorities announced the flight ban, imposed in December after the emergence of a Covid-19 mutant strain in Britain, would be lifted and Hongkongers could come home on two designated Cathay Pacific flights on April 21 and 28. About 600 tickets were offered for sale, but not all seats on both flights were made available.
