Intrepid Partners With Air Canada Vacations Amid Canada's Domestic Travel Push
Intrepid Travel has partnered with Air Canada Vacations to offer eight small-group Canadian adventure itineraries through its booking platform and advisor network. The launch coincides with U.S.-Canada trade tensions and political calls for Canadians to travel domestically. Travel from Canada to the U.S. is down about 25% in 2025, while domestic tourism spending rises. Intrepid's CEO says timing is coincidental, but Canada is its fastest-growing market with 2026 bookings up 26%.
