Canadians love Los Cabos and airlines are responding with more flights — making Canada the fastest growing international airlift market for the Mexican destination.
With continued traffic from Western Canada and growing interest from Ontario and Quebec, Los Cabos is experiencing strong growth from the maple leaf market.
Canada now represents more than 16 per cent of all international visitors to Los Cabos, cementing its position as the destination’s second-largest international source market after the United States. According to 2025 reports, Canadian travellers tend to stay longer and spend more than our American counterparts, with average stays of 10 nights, vs. 5.7 nights for American tourists.
“Canada has evolved into a core market for Los Cabos, not just a seasonal source of winter travel,” says Rodrigo Esponda, Managing Director of the Los Cabos Tourism Board. “Airlines are expanding service because demand is strong, consistent and increasingly nationwide. What we’re seeing now is long-term market confidence.”
January already recorded a 24.6 percent year-over-year jump in airlift and data from the Los Cabos Tourism Board shows seat capacity is projected to increase more than 13.1 percent over the next six months. That's the largest increase in forward seat capacity among major global source markets.
In 2025, 240,000 Canadians travelled to Los Cabos, representing a 20 percent increase over 2024. Visitors originating from Toronto jumped 37 percent.
