Tourism in Canada

Get to know Canada before you get to know Canada

How big is Canada? This big:

• it’s the second largest country by land mass in the world
• it’s bordered by three oceans: the Atlantic, the Pacific and the Arctic
• it takes about eight hours to fly from Vancouver (west) to Halifax (east)

So when it comes to planning a trip, it helps to narrow your focus to a specific region of the country.

Before you book your flights, spend a little time rummaging around these provincial tourism sites. They’ll help you to get a sense of Canada’s multiple personalities, and to find the right destinations to fit your travel style.
