Despite ongoing global geopolitical and economic uncertainty, the Canadian hotel industry continues to deliver impressive results. RevPAR grew by 4.0% in 2025, and June year-to-date performance is up a further 6.5%. This momentum is being driven by strong domestic travel, Canada’s designation as a favoured travel destination by China, increased international demand that may previously have gone to the U.S., and the partial return of U.S. travellers attracted by the favourable exchange rate.

Snapshot of the Copenhagen hotel market in 2026 with an exploration of tourism demand, hotel performance, hotel supply, the investment market and the market outlook.

Amidst great global geopolitical and economic uncertainty, Canadians showed their true “Elbows Up” resilience. The national hotel occupancy level cracked the 66% mark with close to 70 million occupied rooms across the country. This is a remarkable achievement, especially given that it was coupled with a 3.5% increase in average daily rates nationally, resulting in a 4.2% RevPAR uptick. The luxury segment saw the greatest lift in RevPAR at 8.7%, more than twice the national average.

The Nova Scotia lodging market, particularly in Halifax, has experienced rapid growth in the years following the pandemic. In 2024, provincial RevPAR levels are projected to reach 128% of their 2019 benchmark, driven by rising ADR and an enhanced hotel supply.

130% RevPar penetration… very attainable with Airport Terminal Hotels! Why? Barriers to entry, limited number of airports, and convenience, all contribute to the uniqueness of the success of Airport Terminal Hotels.
