A new study says Toronto’s St. Lawrence Market is the second-safest Canadian tourist spot this summer.
Personal injury law firm Preszler Injury Lawyers collected Tripadvisor review data for the top 50 attractions in Canada to find which were the safest.
For each attraction, they looked at the percentage of user reviews containing 12 terms relating to danger, such as ‘danger,’ ‘unsafe,’ and ‘unstable’ to identify which tourist spots are the safest.
With only 0.01% of reviews (two out of 14,016) mentioning an element of danger, visitors to St. Lawrence Market can enjoy food from more than 120 vendors without worrying about their safety.
According to the study, the safest tourist attraction in Canada is Reif Estate Winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont.
The attraction had a total of 2,194 reviews, none of which contained any complaints relating to danger.
“If you are keen to visit some of the more adventurous spots that Canada has to offer, it’s important that you check reviews and read up about companies beforehand to make ensure your safety is still prioritized,” said a spokesperson for Preszler Injury Lawyers in a statement.
Montreal’s Notre-Dame Basilica ranked third with only 0.02% of Tripadvisor reviews (five out of 20,355) relating to danger.
In fourth place was another Niagara-on-the-Lake winery, Konzelmann Estate Winery, with just 0.03% of reviews (one out of 3,057) talking about risk.
Rounding out the top five was Vancouver’s Granville Island with 0.04% of reviews (eight out of 20,004) relating to any danger.
