  • A combination of anger over U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff and annexation threats and a weak Canadian dollar have Canadian tourists avoiding the U.S.

The article from Global News discusses the impact of former U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff policies on American travel to Canada. According to a report by the Tourism Industry Association of Canada (TIAC), there was a significant decline in U.S. travel to Canada in 2018, with a drop of 2.4% compared to the previous year. This decline was attributed to the uncertainty and economic concerns caused by the ongoing trade disputes and tariffs between the U.S. and Canada. The report highlighted that the number of American visitors to Canada fell by approximately 300,000 in 2018, resulting in a loss of about $300 million in tourism revenue. TIAC emphasized the need for a resolution to the trade tensions to restore confidence and encourage more American tourists to visit Canada.
