FIND YOUR STAY
If friends and family are feeling a little “city envy,” invite them to stay at one of our local hotels. For the best rates and personalized service, be sure to book directly through the hotel rather than on a third-party platform. Whether seeking affordability or indulgence, Abbotsford has a stay for every traveler.

PLAN YOUR TRIP
The tourism industry is currently tariff free and a great way to support our economy while having a great local experience! Did you know that in 2023, tourism provided more to the BC GDP (gross domestic product) than mining, oil & gas, agriculture & fishing and forestry & logging. We are now the primary resource industry.
