sandra@expressionvoyages.comExpression VoyagesMagog, Québec, CanadaBoston is not selling 2025-2026. Will offer a Boston package in 2027 but not hopeful. Past itinerary has been very successful with stay at Doubletree Andover and stops in BOS, Salem, and Rockport - loves North of Boston.

Prices are too high and $CAN is not strong - the way to work with Canadians and to secure bookings is to consider special rates for Canadian tour operators. Good deals will help to get folks back over the border.

Canadian student travel is limited by school board bans on travel to US due to safety concerns and even pricing won't help this.
