Why it matters
The rise in visitors is linked to a $4.5 million provincial funding increase in the 2025 budget, which allowed Travel Manitoba to invest in strategic marketing. Additionally, Statistics Canada resumed counting international travelers at the Winnipeg airport in 2025 after stopping in 2020.
