Calgary, made the top of the list with an 11 percent drop, followed by Niagara Falls and Montreal, which both dropped by 10 percent.

But the drop-off in leisure travel means good deals are still open for casual travelers in spots like Calgary, the gateway to Banff and the Rockies and Niagara Falls according to the October report.
