Canadians Pull Back On California Travel After Advisory, Tariffs

A growing number of Canadians are canceling travel plans to California due to rising tensions between the two countries, concerns over safety, and dissatisfaction with recent American policies and rhetoric. Visit California recently revised its overall visitor spending forecast for this year from $166 billion to $160 billion, saying international travel into California is already beginning to slow. Leaders in hospitality, dining, and air travel warn that ongoing uncertainty and reduced visitation could have lasting impacts on the state’s economy and its 3 million tourism-related jobs.
