Canadian Tourism Concerns Rise as Mexico Implements Visa Requirement

Canadian tourism faces uncertainty as Mexico mandates visas for travelers, impacting a key market. The Tourism Industry Association of Canada (TIAC) warns of potential repercussions, citing past visa-related declines in visitor numbers.

Mexican citizens now require an electronic travel authorization (ETA) or a Canadian visitor visa, affecting planned trips and adding financial burdens. The Tourism Industry Association of Ontario (TIAO) echoes concerns, emphasizing immediate impacts on businesses.

With Mexico being a top market for Canadian tourism, expedited visa processing is urged for pre-booked travelers. Notably, the changes do not affect Mexicans with valid work or student permits.
