Visit Temecula Valley Welcomes Canadians Back to Southern California's Hot Spot for Warm Winters, Robust Wines, Local Foods & Scenic Outdoor Recreation
Visit Temecula Valley is optimistic their tourism economy will show an uptick as both countries' borders have reopened to fully vaccinated travelers.
TEMECULA, Calif., Nov. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Temecula Valley experienced an increase in Canadian visitors year over year since 2013, that is, until the COVID-19 pandemic hit. The US Canadian border is now open for non-essential travel for the first time since March 21, 2020. This is long-awaited news, since Canada is the top international visitor to the region. Visit Temecula Valley, the destination marketing and management organization, is optimistic their tourism economy will show an uptick as both countries' borders have reopened to fully vaccinated travelers.
"Allowing our beloved Canadians to visit again is definitely a much-needed morale boost to our local tourism business economy," states Kimberly Adams, President/CEO Visit Temecula Valley. "It's been a challenging 19 months. We look forward to welcoming our international markets back."
For nearly two years, Temecula Valley wineries, shops, restaurants, golf courses, and other tourism related businesses have not seen a Canadian tourist and they are sorely missed. Canadians typically enjoy a plethora of outdoor activities in the sunshine and wide-open spaces during Southern California's winter months.
Canadians can take advantage of Visit Temecula Valley's new Live Glass Full stay package that includes a $50 dining card with a two-night Sunday through Thursday stay booked by December 31, 2021.
