Vacation travel to U.S. down as Canadian tourists make strategic decisions on where to spend time, money

As Mexico sees steady growth in Canadian tourists, the U.S. is experiencing a decline.

Data from Tourism Economics and the U.S. National Travel and Tourism Office reveals a 24% drop in Canadian tourism to the United States during the first six months of 2025.

Major cities such as Las Vegas (down 50%), New York (down 46%) and Honolulu (down 41%) are being hit hardest, said Amra Durakovic, communications director with Flight Centre Travel Group in Toronto.

Florida remains the most resilient, but is down 22%, she said.

Went to Mexico as a UK tourist a few years ago (Maya Riviera).

It was amazing, the people are so friendly. The only dickheads we met were the Americans who were treating the staff like shit.

We made up for it by tipping them extra and being super nice to them. Our pool attendant couldn't do enough for us, proactively bringing us drinks and snacks.

She ignored the Americans and when they asked for something they got told to go to the bar.

Used to just be the central part, now it's expanded.

Wild to think that it would be safer to go to Mexico than the US.

If you're not white you're more likely to be arrested, detained, sent back or disappeared if you go to the US.
