"As per the latest figures available, Canada Tourism Commission has seen 1,28,551 Indian visitors till October 2013. While, the total outbound Indian travel to Canada stood at 1.62 lakh last year (2012)," it said.
The Canadian Tourism Commission is one of Canada's national tourism marketing organisations.
Though Indian travellers increased during the first and second quarters of 2012-13, "the momentum stopped during the third and fourth quarter" following the reduction of air connectivity, it said.
"Passengers must now transit via air connections mainly through Europe", it said.
On the total money spent by Indian travellers while visiting Canada, the Commission said it increased to 6.4 per cent to USD 173 million and an Indian tourist on an average stayed for 24 days.
However, a Indian national spending of USD 1,065 per person per trip was the lowest among Canadian Travel Commissions' overseas markets, it said.
