A country with a maple leaf on its flag should undoubtedly attract a real tourist looking for beautiful natural landscapes, places for recreation and active sports. Understandably, Canada's most frequent visitors are its closest neighbors, the residents of the United States.
However, tour operators here are no less pleased to travelers from other continents and are ready to offer a fairly large list of services and entertainment. Tourism in Canada takes into account the main directions of the development of the global leisure industry and adapts them to local conditions. The most promising for this hospitable country are sports, ecological routes and visits to the most important cultural events.
In the lap of nature
Canada occupies large territories in the northern part of the American continent, so natural resources are most popular with visitors to the country. Although there are both megalopolises and fairly large cities ready to meet tourists: the country's main city Toronto and elegant Montreal, the sports capital of Calgary and Vancouver, no less famous for winter sports fans.
And yet, in the center of attention of the guests of the country and the Canadians themselves are the most beautiful natural objects, including:
- Niagara Falls, whose fame has to be shared with the Americans;
- numerous national parks, surprising with the richness of the plant and animal kingdom;
- Rocky mountains, the harsh beauty of which does not open the first time, but then does not let go for a long time.
Travel to the land of black bears
Each of the National Parks of Canada has its own characteristics, one or another of the main representatives of the kingdom of flora and fauna. One of the most popular is Banff Park, which not only introduces its natural resources, but also allows you to strengthen and improve your health with the help of mineral springs in local resorts.
In Jasper Park, tourists, first of all, will find many unique landscape formations, glacial lakes, see many rare species of animals, and, possibly, the famous black bear. Those wishing to get acquainted with the legendary inhabitants of the Canadian expanses - the bison, should go to Wood Buffalo, another local park of national importance.
Admirers of the largest mammals on the planet, whales, will find an amazing sight in St. Lawrence Bay, and on Lake Vancouver you can meet eared seals or sea otters.
