Canadians are increasingly refraining from travel to the US, with Statistics Canada reporting a 23% drop in road trips in February. This decline follows outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's encouragement for citizens to opt for domestic vacations. The impact of Trump's 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico is evident, as leisure bookings to the US have fallen by 40%. Surveys reveal that many Canadians plan to vacation domestically, reflecting a shift in travel priorities amid economic tensions between the two nations.
According to Statistics Canada data released Monday, the number of Canadians driving to the US fell 23% in February compared to the same month last year, marking the second consecutive monthly decline.
A Leger survey of around 1,500 Canadians found that nearly half said they were less likely to visit the US this year compared to last year, while six in 10 planned to vacation in Canada instead.
