Tourism employment in Canada is poised to exceed pre-pandemic levels by 2024, according to updated projections by Tourism HR Canada.
BIV reports with an anticipated 2.02 million Canadians employed in the sector by the end of this year, representing 97.1% of 2019 figures, the organization foresees a 7.5% increase in tourism jobs by 2027.
