Tourism in Canada
A country with a maple leaf on its flag should undoubtedly attract a real tourist looking for beautiful natural landscapes, places for recreation and active sports. It is clear that the most frequent visitors to Canada are its closest neighbors, residents of the United States..
However, tour operators are no less pleased with travelers from other continents and are ready to offer a fairly large list of services and entertainment. Tourism in Canada takes into account the main directions of the development of the global leisure industry and adapts them to local conditions. The most promising for this hospitable country are sports, ecological routes and visits to the most important cultural events..
In the lap of nature
Canada occupies large territories in the northern part of the American continent, so natural resources are most popular with visitors to the country. Although there are metropolitan areas and fairly large cities ready to meet tourists: the main city of the country Toronto and elegant Montreal, the sports capital of Calgary and Vancouver, no less famous for winter sports fans.
And yet, in the center of attention of the guests of the country and the Canadians themselves are the most beautiful natural objects, including:
- Niagara Falls, whose fame has to be shared with the Americans;
- numerous national parks, surprising with the richness of the plant and animal kingdom;
- Rocky mountains, the harsh beauty of which does not open the first time, but then does not let go for a long time.
