April 17, 2025 | Washington, D.C.: American destinations popular with Canadian tourists are seeing a noticeable decline in visitors. Economic challenges, high travel costs, and stricter travel regulations have led many Canadians to cancel or delay their U.S. travel plans. Towns from Niagara Falls to Florida are reporting reduced bookings, affecting local businesses reliant on cross-border tourism. Weaker currency, costly airfare, and health-related travel concerns are also contributing factors. In response, U.S. tourism boards are launching incentives to lure back Canadian travelers, as businesses hope for a rebound.
