Blog: Canadian Summer Vacations 2022

What happens after you submit your survey responses? Where do your answers go? How is your opinion used? We want to answer these questions by sharing past examples of how your responses and opinions have made an impact.

Our recent poll finds that just over half (54%) of Canadians plan to take a vacation this summer. Of that group, the vast majority (73%) will do so in Canada as opposed to being out of the country (27%).

And, despite record-high prices at the gas pumps, a majority (57%) of Canada’s vacationers will be driving to and from their destination. Out of eight possible vacation experiences to choose from, those at the top of the list are taking a road trip (20%), followed by being in the great outdoors (16%), and a staycation (14%) for those who are choosing to stick close to home.

Those most likely to be vacationing this summer hail from Alberta (58%), Québec (57%), and Manitoba/Saskatchewan (56%), followed by those living in British Columbia (54%) and Ontario (53%), and Atlantic Canada (47%).

Those who are the youngest (18-34, 61%) and middle-aged (35-54, 59%) Canadians are more committed to planning a summer vacation than their older counterparts (55+, 45%). Those who are the top earners ($100,000+, 72%) are much more likely than others with either a middle ($50,000-$99,000, 58%) or lower (less than $50,000) income to be planning for a summer break.
