Boycotts over Trump’s trade war have dented cross-border traffic and pushed tourism boards to retool ad campaigns as Canadian travelers shift their vacation plans to Mexico and elsewhere.

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.

      It’s not about the flight path until your plane needs to make an emergency landing. Then you’re fucked anyway.

        There’s probably protocols for that. If it’s someone having a medical issue then no disembarking for other people, refuel and leave.
