Canadian tourists snub US and head to Mexico
- Canadian tourism to the U.S. Sharply declined in early 2025, with April bookings down 75.7% compared to April 2024, notably affecting Florida airports like Fort Lauderdale and Orlando.
- This decline followed President Donald Trump's anti-Canada rhetoric, including calls for Canada to become the 51st U.S. State and the imposition of substantial tariffs that raised travel uncertainty.
- Airlines such as WestJet suspended nine Canada-U.S. Routes due to reduced demand, and Air Canada reported a 10% drop in transborder flight bookings for April to September 2025.
- A May 6, 2025 Leger survey found 52% of Canadians believe it is no longer safe to travel to the U.S., while 54% said they no longer feel welcome because of political tensions.
- The drop in Canadian visitors may cause significant economic losses for U.S. Tourism sectors, impacting jobs and revenues, as the decline aligns with broader trends of avoided U.S. Travel.
