Summary

Canadians are boycotting U.S. travel in response to Trump’s tariffs and policies. A recent survey found 59% are less likely to visit the U.S. this year, with 36% canceling trips.

Airlines report declining demand, and tourism-dependent regions like Florida and New York’s Thousand Islands are adjusting marketing strategies.

Some Canadians refuse to even transit through the U.S. Businesses in Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda are benefiting from the shift.

Critics argue Trump’s policies are harming American tourism and local economies.

I know a couple that cancelled a 5 person cruise to Hawaii this October.

The game development company my friend works at decided not to attend GDC in California this year.

I work in a field where people travel to the U.S. for conferences very frequently, and while there isn’t as much of a decline as I had hoped, many are decreasing their visits or opting not to go entirely.
