Travel from Canada, once one of the most reliable markets for visitors, has plummeted this year, with Statistics Canada reporting a 36.9 percent and 25.8 percent drop in air and automobile return trips from the U.S. in July, respectively. In May, the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) projected that the U.S. would be the only country among 184 tracked economies to see a decline in international visitor spending in 2025.
That may be reducing domestic travel, but it’s pretty far down the list of reasons why I won’t travel to the USA.
