Thinking about where 2026 might take you? Whether it’s exploring somewhere new in Canada or finally checking off an international destination, a little planning can make your travels more enjoyable, comfortable, and stress-free.
Before you set off on your next trip, here are a few helpful tips to keep in mind:
- Canada offers incredible travel experiences close to home: From the coastal charm of Victoria to the historic streets of Quebec City and the natural beauty of Banff and Halifax, there’s no shortage of rewarding destinations, many with perks and discounts for travellers 55+.
- Great value awaits beyond Canada’s borders: For those looking to travel internationally, destinations like Portugal, Costa Rica, Thailand, and Poland stand out in 2026 for their affordability, favourable exchange rates, and relaxed pace of life.
- A little preparation goes a long way: Planning ahead – especially when it comes to travel insurance, medications, and government registration – can help ensure a smoother, more confident travel experience abroad.
- Prioritizing your health makes travel more enjoyable: Simple steps like consulting your healthcare provider, managing medications properly, and staying active during long flights can make a meaningful difference in your trip.
- Your home may help fund your next adventure: For Canadians 55+, home equity can be a valuable resource—potentially enabling travel without the need to dip into long-term savings.
