Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Jan. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With the Family Day holiday coming up on Monday February 19th, leading online travel agency CheapOair.ca shares some of the local and international destinations that Canadians are booking.
Commonly referred to as Heritage Day, Family Day marks a day to celebrate our country’s shared history and cultural heritage with family and friends. While not an official holiday for every province, regional Canadians are using this opportunity to book trips to several family-friendly and popular destinations.
“Despite having just completed the holiday season, our booking data shows that Canadians are eager to travel to key local, North American, and international destinations for this first holiday of the year,” said Daniel Hayter, Senior Product Manager for CheapOair.ca.”
Looking at their internal Canadian flight booking data covering the period of February 16 to February 20, 2024, the results are representative of Canadian consumers that booked through the CheapOair.ca website. The top Family Day long weekend destinations include:
Top Canada Cities:
- Montreal, Quebec
- Ottawa, Ontario
- Winnipeg, Manitoba
- Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
- Halifax, Nova Scotia
- Regina, Saskatchewan
- Kelowna, British Columbia

- Fort Lauderdale. Florida

- Cancun, Mexico
