With the Canada Strong Pass, both locals and tourists can immerse themselves in Canada’s vast landscapes and storied history, while saving money during their travels.

Support for the Tourism Sector!

Minister Rechie Valdez underscored the importance of tourism in Canada’s economy, noting that it supports one in every ten jobs nationwide. This initiative is seen as a game-changer, spurring domestic travel amidst recent tensions with the U.S., which have caused a significant decline in cross-border visits.
