Summary
Canadians are boycotting U.S. travel in response to Trump’s tariffs and policies. A recent survey found 59% are less likely to visit the U.S. this year, with 36% canceling trips.
Airlines report declining demand, and tourism-dependent regions like Florida and New York’s Thousand Islands are adjusting marketing strategies.
Some Canadians refuse to even transit through the U.S. Businesses in Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda are benefiting from the shift.
Critics argue Trump’s policies are harming American tourism and local economies.
I spend too much time online and this has probably created a bias, it looks like most people around me don’t really care. Yesterday I even stumbled upon some comments on Lemmy who thought BuyFromEU was about European nationalism and not about the shit that is going on in USA… Sigh. Anyway, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle, not good to hate too much, but it seems healthy to trust USA a bit less now. /rant
Most people around you probably don’t really know. I get the distinct impression that, even among otherwise politically-active people who should know better, there’s a fuck-ton of normalcy bias going on among the American public right now.
I should had clarified i’m not an american, i’m from eastern europe.
