QUEBEC CITY with a population of 593,000, is the capital of the province of Quebec. Quebec City is the oldest city in Canada and boasts a strong tourism economy. It is also a growing hub for technology and innovation, featuring a significant network of research institutions and a skilled workforce. As the home of Laval University and the University of Quebec, the city also has a reputation as a centre for learning and research.

Economic uncertainty and Quebec’s dependence on US trade and tourism are limiting the potential for employment growth. Limited job creation in various industries, coupled with limited immigration, will keep unemployment low. The unemployment rate in Quebec City is projected to remain low, averaging 2.8% from 2025 to 2028, which is below the projected provincial and national averages.

Quebec City's real GDP is projected to grow at an average annual rate of 1.5% from 2025 to 2029, which is slightly below the projected growth at the provincial level. Quebec City has very much benefitted from domestic tourism and the “elbows up” mentality, which has boosted the city’s tourism appeal, supporting growth in both occupancy and ADR.

Between 2025 and 2028, 414 new rooms are expected to enter the Quebec City market, which is notable. For 2025, the per-room value is projected to increase by 9.9% compared to 2024. The sharp increase in ADR is driving RevPAR growth. The per-room value is projected to continue increasing at a healthy pace, reaching $262,600 in 2028. In terms of ranking, Quebec City is projected to finish 2028 in seventh position, with an HVI of 2.67.
