Canadian Air Travel to U.S. Continues Decline, Reflecting Anti-American Sentiment

Statistics Canada data reveals a continued decline in Canadian air passengers traveling to the United States for the ninth consecutive month, down 8.9 percent in October. This drop coincides with the ongoing trade war and President Trump’s repeated comments about potentially annexing Canada. While U.S.-bound travel decreases, domestic air travel within Canada experienced an 8.5 percent increase in October. The U.S. Travel Association attributes the loss in international tourism spending to Canadians avoiding the U.S.

Canadians Shun U.S., Costing Tourism Billions Amid Political Concerns

The U.S. economy is facing a decline in international tourism spending, largely due to a decrease in Canadian visitors. A recent U.S. Travel Association report forecasts a $5.7 billion USD loss in 2025, with double-digit drops in Canadian air and land travel to the U.S. observed. Canadians, traditionally the largest group of international tourists, are reportedly deterred by the current political climate and policies, as evidenced by an Angus Reid poll showing 70% of Canadians uncomfortable traveling to the U.S. Some U.S. tourism organizations near the Canadian border are responding with incentive programs and discounts in an effort to attract Canadians back.
