Las visitas de canadienses a EE. UU. volvieron a descender en marzo: 14 meses consecutivos

Key Points

• Canadian visits to the U.S. by car have declined for 14 consecutive months, although the rate of decline slowed in March.
• The continued drop has significantly impacted U.S. destinations, with border towns and states like New York experiencing notable economic harm.
• Canadians are increasingly choosing other destinations, such as Mexico and long-haul markets in Europe and Asia, over the U.S.

Summary

Canadian travel to the U.S. has declined for 14 straight months, with March seeing a slower rate of decrease compared to previous months. The drop, driven in part by federal policies and shifting travel preferences, has negatively affected U.S. border towns and the tourism sector, especially in states like New York. Many Canadians are now opting for destinations such as Mexico and various European and Asian countries, while domestic travel and long-haul bookings are also on the rise.
