Highlights

In recent years, international border crossing trends into the Yukon have changed, reflecting shifts in visitor behavior:

  • Crossings at Beaver Creek have slightly increased in recent years but remain lower than their all-time high in 1992.
  • Crossings at Pleasant Camp hit a record low in 2013 but have been steadily growing since.
  • Crossings at Fraser have surged due to more cruise ship passengers docking in Skagway, leading to a rise in day trips from Skagway.

Visitor behavior and transportation choices have also evolved:

  • Train passenger numbers have stayed steady, while bus travel has grown significantly.
  • Most visitors are American, but the number of overseas travelers is increasing.
  • Visitor numbers from Europe have stayed the same or declined, while more travelers are coming from Asia, Oceania, and the Americas.

Notes on data: Border crossings overestimate the number of travellers entering the Yukon, as the Fraser and Pleasant Camp crossings can enter British Columbia without entering the Yukon. These border crossings come from official port of entries, which exclude travellers entering Yukon via BC on the South Alaska or Stewart-Cassiar Highways, the NWT on the Dempster Highway or on domestic flights. Pedestrian includes cyclists. Totals includes Yukoners.
