Trump's disastrous trade war is killing US tourism [View all]
According to a recently released report, the tourism industry is about to take a hit as travel from Canada to the United States is projected to experience a significant drop, thanks to President Donald Trump’s tariffs and other policies.
Tourism Economics has estimated that Canadian tourism to the United States will experience a 15% drop resulting from cost increases triggered by Trump and that travel from other key nations will also decline, with total international travel down 5%.
“Some organizations will feel pressure to avoid hosting events in the US, or sending employees to the US, cutting into business travel. Anecdotal evidence from Tourism Economics clients confirms a growing number of travel cancellations from Canada,” Tourism Economics notes.
The Canadian government has made clear that increased U.S. tariffs will lead to increased Canadian tariffs, despite Trump’s repeated assertions that other nations will acquiesce to his trade war.
