Canadians are looking for a little adventure – and they’re finding it in the Central American hotspot of Costa Rica, says Sean Shannon, managing director of Expedia.ca.
“Costa Rica, better than anywhere else, has branded the adventure experience,” says Shannon, highlighting findings of the annual survey of travel patterns by Canada’s most visited online travel service website. The relatively new destination, famous for its beaches, lush rainforest and eco-tours, has convinced a growing number of Canadians “to come and explore the top of the trees,” he added.
No longer content to just “fly and flop on the beach,” Canadians are packing their bags for other off-the-beaten-path destinations as well, including Eastern Europe and the Asia-Pacific region – most notably China – where they’re looking to experience the culture and soak up the sights, the survey shows.
