Visitor Economy Relaunch Plan

Edmonton saw a record number of visitors to our city in 2019, with just over 6.3 million people visiting the capital region, and those visitors spent $1.7 billion dollars in our city. In 2020, no surprise that number plummeted with just over 3.3 million visitors contributing just $315 million to the local economy. Obviously, recovery of the visitor economy must be a priority in the capital region and Explore Edmonton will be at the forefront with several initiatives to get visitors back to the city.
