Hopes high in B.C. as China lifts border rules, but tourism recovery may take months
Monica Leeck, manager of market development for Asia Pacific and Mexico with Destination BC, said operators have been “anxiously waiting” for the Chinese reopening.

Chang said rapidly changing COVID policies in China “create uncertainties,” while high hotel costs in Vancouver during summer would also deter some tourists. The authority said it’s expecting “approximately” 34 flights a week during the Chinese New Year period.
