The rain of recent days saddens international tourists who have traveled to admire the magic of Old Quebec.
“I couldn’t wait to see the snow. We are a little sad. We wanted to have a white Christmas that we can’t see in Mexico,” a resident of Mexico City told TVA Nouvelles.

Data compiled by Destination Québec cites a gap between the proportion of hotel rooms reserved in 2023 versus 2022.
While the latter amounted to 80% between December 24, 2022 and January 1, 2023, the proportion is lower for the same period a year later, at 74%.
“We were encouraged that there was not a wave of cancellations, but yes, reservations have slowed down compared to last year […] there were a few impacts in terms of rain, but not as dramatic as we expected,” shared Robert Mercure, director of Destination Québec cited.
