The U.S. Travel Association said Canada is the top source of international visitors to the U.S. In 2024 there were 20.4 million visits from Canada generating $20.5 billion in spending and supporting 140,000 American jobs. The association says a 10% reduction in Canadian travel could mean 2 million fewer visits, $2.1 billion in lost spending and 14,000 job losses. The top five most visited states by Canadians are Florida, California, Nevada, New York and Texas. Air Canada, the country’s largest airline, said it currently is not seeing a reduction in travel to the U.S. but is monitoring the situation.See the Story
