As summer approaches, Canadians are preparing for a season of travel, with new data from Airbnb shedding light on the travel trends for 2025. The data indicates that domestic travel remains popular among Canadians, who are increasingly opting for vacations closer to home. In 2024, Canadian hosts recorded nearly nine million domestic guest arrivals, marking an increase of over 40 percent since 2019.

The trending domestic destinations this summer span across Canada, from national parks and quiet seaside towns to vibrant small cities. Canadians are choosing accommodations like rustic cabins, coastal cottages, and trendy tiny homes to explore their country in meaningful ways.

Internationally, many of the favored destinations for Canadians are in Europe. These locations appeal due to their sun-soaked coastlines, cultural landmarks, and culinary attractions.

Airbnb is enhancing its offerings by reimagining Airbnb Experiences. This service allows travelers to engage with locals who provide insights into their cities. Activities range from cooking regional specialties to exploring local art scenes, offering a more personal and authentic connection with each destination.

For those considering exploring their own city or planning a staycation this summer, Airbnb suggests some unique Canadian experiences available through its platform.

Regardless of travel reasons or preferences—whether it be destination choice, budget considerations, or group size—summer travelers can utilize various tips and tricks provided by Airbnb to find suitable accommodations.
