Hotels & Motels in Canada

Hotels and motels have benefited from rising incomes and population growth in recent years as consumers spent freely on vacations and hotel stays. But, when COVID-19 shut down tourism, hotel rooms were left empty, creating long-lasting financial and operational challenges. A travel slump through early-2021 left the industry struggling, as bookings stayed at a fraction of what they were in 2019. Yet, long periods at home left consumers with savings and pent-up demand to spend on trips as travel restrictions lifted. While enormous demand for travel led to a rapid recovery at hotels between 2022 and 2023, supply chain disruptions and labour shortages made it difficult for retailers to recover fully from the pandemic. Concerns about a recession and inflation in 2023 haven't stifled Canadian consumers' appetite for travel, keeping spending strong. The recent travel boom hasn't offset the pandemic's impact, leading industry-wide revenue to decline at a CAGR of 1.5% over the past five years – totaling an estimated $23.6 billion in 2023 – when revenue will rise an expected 4.0%.
