Statistics Canada reports that consumers pay significantly more for travel-related services as World Cup demand increases in Canada’s host cities. The agency says overall travel costs rise in the country’s two main host markets, particularly Toronto and Vancouver, citing higher prices for multiple categories of travel services. According to the reports, traveller accommodation costs in June increase by about 20% year over year in Ontario and British Columbia. Other travel expenses also move higher, with at least one source reporting that rental car prices rise by nearly double-digits year over year (the exact figure is not fully provided in the excerpts). The increases are described as notable in both host cities, with airfares and hotel prices highlighted as examples of the broader price pressure. Statistics Canada attributes the price gains to consumers paying more for travel services during the period, aligning the timing with the World Cup. The coverage across outlets emphasizes the same Statistics Canada findings: higher costs for accommodation and other travel components in Toronto and Vancouver compared with the prior year.
