An Update on the Potential Impact of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative on Canada's Tourism Industry

Industry Canada commissioned the Conference Board of Canada to conduct an update on the potential impact of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative on Canada's tourism industry, a study originally commissioned by the Canadian Tourism Commission (CTC) in July, 2005. While the original impact assessment covered the period from 2005 to 2008, the update covers a longer period, 2005 to 2010 and it takes into account the effect of accepting a "PassCard" as an alternative to a passport.

Note: This study was completed before the recent announcement that WHTI implementation at land and sea crossings would be delayed to June 1, 2009 . This study assumed that WHTI would be implemented at air and sea crossings on January 1, 2007, and at land crossings on January 1, 2008.
