- Manitoba recorded 38 per cent RevPAR growth as a result of a strong recovery in Winnipeg
- In Newfoundland, RevPAR increased by 37 per cent, led by a strong leisure travel season and a strengthening of demand in the shoulder seasons
- Ontario and Quebec also enjoyed stronger RevPAR growth as tourism in these provinces continues to grow

- Looking at 2024, growth expectations have been tempered by the recent run up in rates and a weaker economic outlook which is expected to result in a decline in travel related consumer spending
