U.S. Travel Association Warns of Economic Tourism Disaster After Thousands of Canadian Tourists Cancel Trips in Protest

Canadian travelers decided to fight back against an announcement made by the 47th President of the United States on Saturday to impose a 25% tariff on most imported goods from their country, by canceling their vacation trips to the United States in protest.

The travel boycott, in addition to other boycotts raised by Canadians frustrated with the executive order that not only imposes tariffs on Canadian goods but also goods from Mexico and China, is meant to hurt the United States where it counts the most: their tourism economy.

The U.S. Travel Association has warned that the U.S. government’s move to impose steep tariffs against neighboring countries will lead to an economic tourism disaster for the United States after thousands of Canadian travelers canceled their trips immediately following the President’s announcement.
