Numerous nations have issued unofficial travel advisory warnings to deter citizens from traveling to the United States under Donald Trump. The tensions between the US and Canada have been particularly bad for tourism. Statistics Canada reported a 23% decline in trips via car from the US this February, marking the second consecutive monthly decline, while trips to the US by air declined 2.4%. March\u2019s data shows that cross-border travel plummeted by 900,000 YoY, marking the worst year of tourism since the COVID pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data found that 4,105,516 people traveled from Canada into the US this March, down from 4,970,360 visitors in 2024\u2014a 17% decline. Now let\u2019s just say that those 900,000 travelers traveled, say, in families of four, spending $2,500 on their trip. That is $562,500,000 tourism dollars lost in one month alone, and obviously, $2,500 is an extremely low estimate for what one would spend on vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The US Travel Association stated that Canadians spent $20.5 billion in US last year while on holiday, which was believed to support 140,000 jobs in leisure and hospitality. Border towns have been hit the hardest, naturally.<\/p>
