Declining Canadian tourism is adversely affecting American businesses in every state along the U.S.-Canada border, according to a new report by the U.S. Senate Democrats’ Joint Economic Committee.
“In 2024, Canadian tourism contributed $20.5 billion to the U.S. economy and supported 140,000 American jobs,” states the report, released on Wednesday. “The negative impacts of President Trump’s tariff policies have been particularly stark in states along the U.S.-Canada border, which have many businesses that rely on short-term visits by Canadians.”
