Canadian tour bookings climbing higher, alongside growing interest in Wells Gray Park
NORTH THOMPSON — Wells Gray Tours is one of the largest tour operators in Western Canada, and owner Roland Neave has noticed a trend when it comes to where people want to go.
“The last few weeks there have certainly been a lot more Canadian bookings than other destinations,” he says.
The ongoing trade dispute between Canada and the U.S. is influencing travel plans, with Canada becoming a more popular choice. Wells Gray takes 2,500 people travelling every year, on average, through 65 tours. Only 11 of those trip options go to the U.S.A., while the rest are in Canada and international destinations.
