- Canada’s Competition Bureau ended its inquiry into VIAD’s 2024 Jasper SkyTram acquisition despite its growing market control.
- VIAD, via Pursuit, commands more than 90 percent of paid sightseeing services in Banff and Jasper national parks.
- Since 2011, Parks Canada approved VIAD’s expansions and hotel purchases while rejecting rival development proposals.
- A local business owner condemned the bureau’s decision as yielding to US pressure during ongoing tariff disputes.
Canadians are going to be apoplectic that the federal government is not prepared to challenge an American monopoly in the national parks.— Adam Waterous, owner of Mt. Norquay ski resort, comments on the Competition Bureau's decision.
