24 h. ago These Ontario beaches are like a Caribbean getaway right in your backyard

Ontario isn't exactly a destination for tropical beaches, but if you search close enough, there are a few locations in the province that can (almost) make you feel like you've been transported to far-off vacation getaways.Tropical escapes sound far-fetched for a part of the world known for harsh winters, but it's true. In fact, just a few hours outside of Toronto, you can find picturesque beaches that boast serene views of crystal-blue waters and offer warm sandy landscapes that rival some destinations down south.The best part is that you only need three things: transportation, your swimsuit, and probably some sunscreen.So, if you're looking for a staycation getaway but don't want to stray far from home, consider some of these beaches for your next summer adventure. Port Dover Perhaps the most tropical of them all, the beachfront in Port Dover appears to have been imported straight from a Caribbean island. That's&n...

61 h. ago Huge spike in Europeans wanting to visit Ontario amid decline in U.S. tourism

Thinking of your next summer getaway? You might already be living in it. According to a new study by the Europe Pulse Study from Context Research Group, Ontario is a top destination choice for European travellers. The study showed that more than half of European travellers are considering a trip to Ontario, with a strong appeal in visiting Toronto, thanks, in part, to the city's upcoming role as one of the host cities for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.Eighty-seven percent also say that Canada, as a country, is appealing enough to visit on its own, rather than as a side trip to the U.S. If you're trying to grasp why that might be, the study also showed that, amid the tense political climate in the U.S., 62 per cent of European travellers are wary of visiting the States, making Canada an even more attractive getaway. Destination Ontario, along with Destination Toronto, commissioned the study to gain a deeper understanding of how global events are influe...

64 h. ago Major global tourist destinations about to get more expensive for Canadians

Visiting the Louvre is about to get more expensive for Canadian tourists.According to French news outlet Le Monde, non-European tourists will be required to pay €30 (approximately C$48) to visit major French museums starting January 1, 2026. That's about a C$13 increase from the current entrance fee of €22 (C$35).Sources from France's Ministry of Culture told the newspaper that the hike would be implemented at the Louvre and Château de Versailles.The government is also planning to test the tourist tax at either the Arc de Triomphe or the Conciergerie, and at the Château de Chambord, in Loire Valley (central France), as well as at Paris' Opéra Garnier.That means Canadians will need to factor in an additional fee if they want to see the Mona Lisa up close at the Louvre or get a glimpse into the lavish life of Marie Antoinette.The price increase is expected to be adopted by other cultural sites in 2027.According to Le Monde, the government's...
