Continued decline in US-Canada relations affecting tourism
SUMMARY: Tensions between the U.S. and Canada, driven by President Trump’s tariffs and remarks about Canada becoming the 51st state, are impacting tourism, especially in Tennessee. The state’s vibrant tourism sector, including attractions like Nashville and Dollywood, is seeing a decline in Canadian visitors. Travel experts report that Canadian tour operators have experienced up to 30% fewer bookings. The U.S. Travel Association notes Canadians contribute over $20 billion annually to the U.S. economy, supporting 140,000 jobs. Experts suggest the decline will continue unless U.S.-Canada relations improve.
