Canada to US Tourism continues to drop, drop drop

 As tensions flame, Canadians are seeking other Snowbird destinations this Spring as flights and car rental fall as much as 30% in April 2025.  The Guardian even reports a 70% drop!

No matter what percentage, things are changing as more and more citizens from around the world, decide it might be better to travel elsewhere?

Why spend your money in the States when other places are more welcoming and warmer than even Florida?

Oh yeah, you need Real ID soon.

Fall tourism in Northeast?

Getting ready for my Saturday morning errands that includes listening to Car Talk, and I caught this news on WAMC website.  The article describes the anticipated traffic across the US and Canada border.  It reminds me of a casual conversation with someone it a store this week that raised the concern for the need of passports for her family to cross into Canada.  Four passports, the time and cost to acquire them was seen to be a deterrent to local cross border tourism.

While the exchange rate is still comparable between the US and Canada with $1.00 Canada equal $0.949 US, I wonder how much tourism is list due to the Passport requirement?

It would be a good thesis.
