A Destination Canada survey last spring suggested more than half of Americans planning a trip to Canada were reconsidering their plans.

Once a wildfire reaches the size of the one near Fort McMurray, it will burn for a long time. Alberta Wildfire information officer Josee St-Onge also said it will burn for weeks or months.

“Two days in Calgary, two days in Lake Louise, two days in Jasper and three days in Banff,” said Mexican tourist Roberto Peralti, describing his travel plans over the coming days.Peralti, like others, came to Canada hoping to see glaciers and Alberta’s towering mountain views. The majority said wildfires were a factor.

She said many international travellers underestimate the scope of Canada’s geography and that can lead to unnecessary cancellations.
