Quotes
“The Canada-China Year of Tourism is an exceptional opportunity to strengthen the people-to-people connections between our two countries and celebrate the best that Canada and China offer the world. It will grow our tourism sector, which means more middle class jobs for Canadians and better economic growth for communities across the country.”
— The Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada
“Canada and China are united by strong people-to-people ties and a long history of cooperation. I am happy to join Prime Minister Trudeau and my colleagues today to announce the next steps on the Canada-China Year of Tourism, which will offer a unique opportunity to share our respective rich cultures, amazing attractions and unforgettable experiences. We are committed to working together with our Chinese partners to create memorable experiences that keep visitors coming back to Canada time and again.”
— The Hon. Bardish Chagger, Minister of Small Business and Tourism, and Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Quick facts
- China is one of Canada’s fastest-growing tourism markets and our third-largest source of tourism.

That number is expected to grow significantly over the next four years.
- Canada’s tourism industry is a key economic driver, and employs one in ten Canadians.
- Over five per cent of Canada's population has Chinese ancestry, and Mandarin and Cantonese are Canada's third and fourth most widely spoken languages.
