Total solar eclipse: Canadian cities along path see boom in tourism

In less than a month, Canadians in several communities will be able to see the nation’s first total solar eclipse in more than 40 years — and it's leading to a boost in tourism.

The eclipse's path of totality — in which the moon crosses between the sun and Earth in perfect alignment — will stretch from southern Ontario and Quebec to Atlantic Canada, with those in the path seeing the world go into darkness.

As Global’s Sean Previl explains, the cities and towns in its path are reporting surges in hotel bookings and many are preparing for an influx of people travelling to catch a glimpse of the celestial event.
