Canadian Travel Boycott Widens US Travel Deficit
President Trump’s policies, including tariffs and controversial statements regarding Canada, have led to a decline in Canadian tourism to the U.S., potentially exacerbating the country’s existing travel deficit. This downturn is attributed to various factors, such as unfavorable exchange rates and concerns about the political climate. The resulting decrease in international travel threatens the U.S. travel industry, which generates over $1 trillion annually. The U.S. Travel Association is actively working to address these issues and advocate for policies that boost tourism.
