Millions of international travelers are increasingly choosing to avoid the United States.
The United States had roughly 4 million fewer international visitors in 2025 than the year before, marking a 5.5 percent decline in overseas tourism, according to CNN. Foreign visitor spending also fell by more than $8 billion.
Aside from the collapse in travel during the COVID-19 pandemic, it represents the sharpest annual drop in international tourism in roughly 20 years.
Canada and mexico strangely up something like 10%
Trump is the best thing to happen to the CDN economy in 50 years. Tourism way up, and we are severing from US industry irreversibly.
He’s the GOAT at own-goals, no wonder FIFA gave him an award.
That is an unmitigated tragedy. Different places on earth are better for making different things. Trade between people is as old and essential as civilization itself. I get why Canada is doing that right now because the US is a disaster, but let’s not pretend blowing up all relations is a good thing.
We are making new partners worldwide and no longer trusting anyone. Canada has been fucked over by the US since Eisenhower shut down our aeronautics industry with his Conservative puppet.
Fuck around…find out. Throw out legal trade agreements? we can now pivot to other, better markets.
Tariffs on cars? Good. We opened up to other countries that don’t just sell shitty trucks. EVs inbound from China and France. Maybe we can stop subsidizing US assembly plants in Canada with our healthcare.
America literally has nothing Canada or any other nation needs that they can’t get from another country. America is literally a resource leech that offers nothing in return.
The world is better off without America. Congrats on your oranges or something.
There’s a particular reason America has always had a global trade deficit.
You do see how shipping produce across an ocean is an environmental tragedy, right? Again, I agree that Canada is doing the right thing given the circumstances but describing the situation like it’s a good thing is unhinged.
It doesn’t have to be.
Shipping auto sub assemblies across the borders of Canada and US 20X is not exactly green, and Detroit refuses to make EVs in Canada.
Oh, you mean tourists coming to Canada and Mexico, not tourists coming from those places to the US. Because Canadians have significantly reduced visits to their southern neighbour (one estimate is that they are down 42%).
Yes
