After 18 months of a slower travel period, more than half of Canadians (55%) find themselves daydreaming about their next vacation. And, new research from American Express Canada underscores the important role travel plays in Canadians overall well-being. In fact, 85 per cent of Canadians agree that travel makes them happy and brings them joy.
And while the pandemic has slowed travel for some Canadians, research shows that even reminiscing about past travel, or planning a future trip, can be a major mood boost.
With travel on everyone’s minds, Amex wants to help Canadians find their ‘Happy Places’ and has teamed up with beloved Canadian actor and comedian Will Arnett as inspiration for future travel as narrated in Arnett’s new social video series. Whether your “Happy Place” is rooted in the anticipation and excitement of booking a highly anticipated trip, or if it’s reminiscing on past memories of experiencing a new city with family and friends, American Express and Aeroplan have your back to help you get there sooner.
“After 18 months of TV binges and wearing sweatpants daily, I want nothing more than to begin creating travel memories again”, said Will Arnett. “I love the fact that with the American Express Aeroplan Cards, everyday spending like work-from-home takeout lunches can help you rack up points to put towards your next adventure. Make sure to get your Card so you can reap the benefits when you travel next and get you to your own happy place sooner.”
The redesigned suite of American Express Aeroplan Cards offer unique value to enhance every step of the travel journey. Select Cards boast incredible travel and lifestyle benefits, including Air Canada travel benefits such as a Free First Checked Bag, Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge™ access for some extra relaxation before your flight, and Priority Airport Services like Priority Boarding. Plus, with the ability to earn points on everyday expenses along with rich welcome bonuses, Canadians get even closer to planning your next getaway.
So…where will your (next) ‘Happy Place’ be?
