THUNDER BAY — Thunder Bay’s tourism agency says the local industry’s recovery from COVID-19 is in full swing, reporting hotel occupancy rates surpassed pre-pandemic levels in 2022.
Several key tourism statistics have rebounded more quickly than expected, noted the agency, a branch of the Thunder Bay CEDC. Tony Scarcello, general manager of the Prince Arthur Hotel, said the encouraging figures in the report square with his experience on the ground. Questioned by Coun. Rajni Agarwal, Pepe conceded none of those will be overnight turnaround stays, with passengers embarking and disembarking in Thunder Bay but said the increased traffic will still pay dividends.
Of nearly 390,000 estimated visitors to the city last year, the report says 87 per cent were from Canada, with 13 per cent from the U.S. and other countries. Of Canadian visitors to the city, 65 per cent originated within Ontario, while Quebec, Manitoba, Alberta, and B.C. each accounted for around seven per cent.
