The travel industry in Canada has been thrown into a 'tailspin' by new federal rules requiring a COVID-19 test before Canadians are allowed back into the country from most international travel, says the Association of Canadian Independent Travel Advisors.

People wearing protective face masks, goggles and Tyvek suits who said they traveled from Colombia wait for a car rental company shuttle, after arriving at Vancouver International Airport in Richmond, B.C., on Thursday, December 31, 2020.

ACITA is a new association started by independent travel agents last spring in part to lobby for government assistance for the industry due to challenges caused by the pandemic.The change in Ottawa's policy left travel agents like Calgary's Janez Law scrambling to get in touch with clients who are on trips or planning to take trips.

Law said such tests are expensive in most of Asia, adding the test in Manila is expected to cost $150.
