Airfares Jump and Hotel Prices Soar Amid World Cup Demand Spike
Accommodation costs rose about 20% in Ontario and British Columbia as World Cup demand pushed up travel prices, StatCan said.
- Statistics Canada reported significantly higher travel costs in Toronto and Vancouver last month, driven by the ongoing World Cup event in the country's host cities.
- Airfares jumped 9.6 per cent year-over-year while hotel accommodation costs rose about 20 per cent in Ontario and British Columbia, fueled by domestic travel demand and jet fuel prices linked to the Middle East war.
- Rental car prices also increased nearly seven per cent compared to June 2025, marking the largest fare increase for travel services since February 2023 as demand climbed.
- Travelers continue to avoid United States destinations due to these domestic cost pressures, according to industry experts monitoring the shift in travel patterns.
- Experts anticipate elevated domestic travel fares will remain until early autumn as fuel price volatility persists across the transportation sector amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
