The travel industry is applauding the federal government's decision to remove the COVID-19 PCR testing requirements for fully vaccinated travellers entering or returning to Canada.

"It's fantastic news," said Marty Firestone, president of Travel Secure Inc., in an interview with CTV News Channel on Tuesday.

In addition to the eased testing requirements, the new rules mean travellers will no longer have to quarantine while awaiting their test results if they get randomly selected for testing. Duclos also announced that the government would be easing its current advisory recommending Canadians avoid non-essential travel.

Wendy Paradis, president of the Association of Canadian Travel Agencies, said the travel restrictions have been "catastrophic" for the industry.

Not good enough

So people that can spread and contract C19 (fully vaccinated) can fly but people that can spread and contract C19 cannot. Makes sense. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 All idiots.

clapping seals

The entire system is broken. Just get rid of the testing altogether. I travel weekly cross border on a plane and there are a lot of loopholes.

Stop the Vaxxine scam! Lift all Covid-19 restrictions, Stop the Vaxxine Mandatory immediately! Return the freedoms to Canadians!

Canadian citizens double vaxed should be exempt from all testing
