Canadians curb U.S. tourism as tariffs and '51st state' talk weigh on travel
TL;DR Summary
Canadian visits to the United States fell about 25% in 2025 (29.1 million trips, down from 39 million in 2024) as Trump’s tariff policies and the idea of Canada becoming the '51st state' dampened travel sentiment; Canadian travel spending in the U.S. dropped roughly $2.3 billion while spending overseas rose about $2.5 billion, yet the U.S. remained the top foreign destination and Asia/Europe trips grew while domestic U.S. travel offset some declines.
