Toronto saw 10.4 million domestic travellers in the year, which was high in number when compared to foreign travellers.

Toronto is famous for its education platforms that are attracted by millions of youth around the globe. With relaxation in immigration and visa policies, and the quality of universities that offer better job convenience, Toronto could get more visitors throughout the year.
