Bookings for Marine Atlantic’s summer season are high this year despite the rising price of gas.
There have been just over 22,000 bookings for trips between June 15 and September 15. That’s well over the number of bookings for 2021 at 3,400, and 2020 at 760, as well as more than double the number of trips booked in the last pre-pandemic year, with around 10,000 in 2019.
However, according to Marine Atlantic, they are getting cancellations from people who say the price of gas is impacting their travel decisions, and are monitoring to see if it has a more noticeable impact in the coming weeks.
