Travel Agents Warn Against US Travel: Safety Concerns Surge
Increased reports of U.S. border agents detaining or denying entry to tourists, including Canadians, are causing a surge in travel cancellations to the United States. Travel agents are receiving numerous requests to cancel trips due to safety concerns and fears of unfair treatment stemming from President Trump’s immigration policies and rhetoric. This situation is impacting the tourism industry, with some agents actively advising against U.S. travel and clients choosing alternative destinations. The detentions, coupled with Trump’s actions towards Canada, are fueling anxieties and boycotts among Canadian travelers. This uncertainty is leading to a significant drop in bookings for U.S.-bound trips.
