Destination Vancouver is pleased to present our forecast report for the next week. From October 10 to 16, there will be four cruise ships arriving at the Port of Vancouver; two less than the current week; along with a corresponding decline in passengers. Although the number of known meetings & events will also decline compared to this current week, the total number of meeting delegates is expected to increase, as we will have two large city-wides scheduled to take place next week. However, overall hotel demand and air bookings for arrival to Vancouver in the next week are expected to drop compared to this week.
