“Unsurprisingly, we see that Quebecers are curious and fond of living new experiences,” said Philippe Blain, vice-president of travel at CAA-Quebec, in a press release.

“We also know that security, climate and social concerns, technological change and economic imperatives pose major challenges for travelers,” explained Mr. Blain.
