Here’s a Travel Bucket List for Canada
Published May 9, 2018 at 9:23 pm
Who doesn’t love a good ol’ bucket list? It is trendy and Canadians love it.
A holiday in high-octane Tokyo or a glimpse of the ruins in Rome – your list may have several destinations across the globe, but what about a tour around Canada?
A recent survey by the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) revealed that 59 per cent Canadians have or plan to make a bucket list and mostly seek Canadian experiences.
Author and travel writer Robin Esrock, along with IHG came up with a bucket list of 25 experiences to inspire travel throughout Canada.
While a bucket list builds aspirations and helps you set goals, survey findings show that 91 per cent Canadians fail to achieve their list.
So, it’s a good idea to stay local or travel within your province and build your way up.
