Canadian Visits to U.S. Plummet 33% in June, Blamed on Political Climate
Canadian visitation to Montana is declining, with a 33% decrease in June following a 38% drop in May, according to Forbes. Montana officials, like Glacier Country CEO Racene Friede, confirm the decline, noting decreases at all ports of entry, such as a 24.76% drop at the Del Bonita port. Credit card spending data also reflects this trend, with a 37% monthly decrease in Kalispell and a 25% drop in Whitefish, prompting a marketing campaign to attract Canadian visitors.
