Relations between Canada and the US have soured due to Trump's rhetoric and policies, leading to a significant decline in Canadian tourism. In 2025, Canadian visitors to New York City dropped from approximately 983,000 to 800,000. Washington State experienced a 26% decline in border crossings, while Oregon saw a 21% decrease. Overall, visitation from Canada was down about 30% in 2025, impacting various sectors including real estate, hospitality, and cultural institutions.
"Canadians represent the largest group of international tourists to the US, but the Trump administration's rhetoric has made many of them feel unwelcome. New York City Tourism + Conventions counted approximately 983,000 Canadian visitors to the city in 2024-a number that dropped to 800,000 in 2025."
"In Washington State, where more than half of all international visitors are Canadian, the tourism board saw a 26% decline in southbound border crossings in October 2025 compared to the same month in 2024."
"Visitation from Canada was down about 30% in 2025, which is a significant and unfortunate decline, says a spokesperson for Visit Detroit, the city's travel and tourism board."
