The American Tourism Association is concerned that Canada's sanctions against the United States will result in huge losses and unemployment in the tourism industry.

Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau will definitely resign before leaving the prime minister's post. In addition to imposing trade sanctions on the United States, he also took another shot, encouraging Canadian nationals to travel locally and not to visit the United States for tourism and consumption. The US Travel Association (US Travel Association) believes that Canadian's not traveling to the United States will cause massive losses to the US tourism industry.

Canadian tourists are the largest source of tourist income for the United States.

The five states that Canadian tourists like to visit the most in the United States are Florida, California, Nevada, New York, and Texas. Each year, they bring abundant income to the local hotel and retail industries during summer and holidays.

The U.S. Travel Association, which predicts future losses based on past tourism data, believes that Trump's heavy tariff sanctions on Canada, combined with Trudeau's passionate "patriotic" shouts for the people, will cause huge losses to the U.S. tourism industry. Canadian travelers are the largest source of tourism revenue in the United States, with 20.4 million visits in 2024, generating $20.5 billion in consumer revenue and creating 140,000 jobs in the United States. Even an estimated 10 percent reduction in Canadian tourists would mean 2 million fewer trips to the U.S. and put many workers at risk of layoffs and job losses.

Trump has sparked Canadian patriotism, and Prime Minister Trudeau encourages Canadians to stay local for tourism

Trump's belittling of Canada and his threat to make it the 51st state of the United States unexpectedly sparked a patriotic awakening among Canadians. Prime Minister Trudeau publicly called on Canadians last weekend, encouraging them to travel and spend locally, to explore Canada's national parks and historical sites, to buy local Canadian products at convenience stores, and emphasizing that Canada is the greatest country in the world. He delivered the speech in English and French. Note: French is also one of Canada's official languages, catalyzing the patriotic sentiment of Canadians.

Canada's largest travel agency, Flight Centre, has found that a large number of customers have cancelled their trips to the United States and changed their destination to other countries. These originally booked travel itineraries include many high-end travel plans worth tens of thousands of Canadian dollars.

Canadian Columbia Province Premier David Eby also publicly condemned, believing that Canadians should seriously consider whether to spend money on a country that would harm the Canadian economy.

The United States and Canada have always been friendly. Not only do Canadians like to travel to the United States, but Americans also like to travel to Canada. From New York to Canada, you can take the Amtrak train to visit Montreal. There are also frequent trips between California and Vancouver by American and Canadian tourists. Since President Trump took office, he has broken the past friendship between the two brotherly nations, and has also intensified the usually friendly and inclusive Canadians. Canada is vast and sparsely populated, with many tourist attractions similar to those in the United States. Niagara Falls is a border that spans both countries, so Canadians can enjoy the beautiful scenery in Canada even without entering the United States, and even save more money in their pockets. Trump recently postponed the tariff sanctions on Canada and Mexico, but unexpectedly became a catalyst for Canadian patriotism. Even Prime Minister Trudeau has taken a tough stance, saying that Canada is the best country in the world. It can be expected that tourism operators in both the United States and Canada are very afraid that the rupture between the two countries will lead to a sharp reduction in income and bring about unemployment, making them indirect victims of trade sanctions.
