Vancouver Island's summer tourism triumph over trade tensions & tariffs

2026 proved to be another strong summer for Vancouver Island's tourism industry. From packed hotels and busy whale-watching tours, to a rebound in cruise ship traffic... communities up and down Vancouver Island saw visitor numbers climb. Victoria and Tofino led the pack, but Nanaimo saw its own wins too. CTV's Andy Garland reports on the tourism triumph despite concerns that trade tensions with the United States would dampen travel plans.
