Herbert Bopp, a German-Canadian writer, has canceled his US travel plans in light of political tensions generated by Trump's presidency. He expresses discontent over perceived insults towards Canada and rising tariffs. This viewpoint reflects a broader trend, as recent data indicates a 23% drop in Canadians returning from the US. The US Travel Association warns that Canada is vital to its tourism sector with millions of visitors generating significant economic benefits. However, upcoming major sports events like the FIFA World Cup and Summer Olympics raise hopes for tourism recovery despite current tensions.
For decades, we were among those who loved to visit the neighboring country to the south, but recent political tensions have halted our travel plans.
He wants to make Canada the 51st state, insults our prime minister and ridicules anything that smells of maple syrup.
Canada is the top source of international visitors to the United States. Last year, 20.4 million travelers from the neighboring country spent a total of $20.5 billion during their stay.
The US tourism industry is hoping for a boom with upcoming major events, but current political conflicts may deter foreign travelers.
