With many Canadians cutting the USA from their travel plans this year, Canadian destinations might see a bump.
V.I.A. polled people about what destinations they'd like to check out without leaving the country.
It seems people in Vancouver really want to see the ocean. The Atlantic Ocean.
The poll was topped by the Maritimes, the trio of provinces on the east coast (New Brunswick, P.E.I., and Nova Scotia). The smallest region got the largest portion of the poll with almost a third of the total vote.
In a close second was Vancouver's home region, B.C. and the Rocky Mountains (which straddle the border between Alberta and B.C.) with around a quarter of the vote. Interestingly, there was a difference of two per cent between Vancouver voters and all V.I.A. readers, with those based in Vancouver less interested in B.C.
In third, it was back to the east coast, with Newfoundland and Labrador, with about 20 per cent of the vote.
In total, the top three spots garnered about 77 per cent of the vote.
There was a significant drop down to Quebec in fourth place, with nine per cent of the vote, followed by the Northern Territories at 7 percent.
Filling out the bottom two slots were Ontario and the Prairies, with between three and four per cent of the vote.
