Manitoba government urges tourists not to visit as 21,000 people flee wildfires
WINNIPEG - Manitoba's emergency management minister says tourists should hit the pause button on visiting the province as the government works to accommodate about 21,000 wildfire evacuees. Lisa Naylor says it's one of the largest evacuations in Manitoba's history and that the province expects more people will have to flee as wildfire season continues. She says emergency officials are working closely with businesses within the province's tourism sector to secure hotel rooms for those fleeing the flames. To do that, Naylor says this means Manitoba residents and Canadians should put off things ranging from large meetings and conventions to family reunions. Thousands also remained out of their homes in Saskatchewan and Alberta, including between 10,000 and 15,000 in Saskatchewan alone. Some residents of Pelican Narrows, Sask., in the province's remote north, can start to return home provided they are healthy and they have access to their own vehicles.

It's one of the most important drivers of bookings, and our data shows Google is undergoing a real-time AI transformation with massive implications for the industry. Google has been a critical part of the tourism marketing funnel for decades. Now, as the search giant reinvents itself for the AI era, the downstream impact on the entire travel industry could be dramatic. Skift Research's latest research report – AI, Google, and the Shift from Keywords to Context in Travel – tracks how Google is embedding AI tools into its search platform and what it means for travel marketers. In a 2023 study, Skift laid out four key areas where generative AI could impact the travel industry. We believed AI would first impact internal tools and customer support, and there have been a slew of product launches in those areas. But we also predicted the most profound impact would be in search, though it would t
