Tourism in Canada is growing fast. This rise is a big chance for hotels and resorts, but it also brings some challenges.

Statistics Canada says that tourism spending in 2024 went up by 3.6%. Spending by international visitors is now 92% of what it was before the pandemic.

The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) said that travel and tourism helped Canada's economy by adding $182 billion in 2024. This also supported 1.84 million jobs.

With this resurgence comes increased pressure on hotels to deliver consistent, high-quality guest experiences at scale. More guests mean higher demand for everything from food and beverages to linens, amenities, and cleaning supplies. For procurement teams, managing this volume while controlling costs is no small feat.

That’s where a Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) like Entegra can make a significant impact.
