I used this quote before: However, 65% tourist reduction from Canada in places like Myrtle Beach, S. Carolina in 2025 and 2026 so far

IN other words Trump has destroyed Tourism from Canada and from many other countries since he has been in office through tariffs and threats to these countries. So, the dynamics are moving the U.S. towards a likely recession or Great Depression relatively quickly it appears because of Trump's actions.
 
The Republicans try to hide all this kind of data because it just shows what an idiot trump is worldwide.
 
So, it is quite likely that Trump is throwing many American Tourist businesses out of business already that cater to Canada, Mexico and other countries upset with Trump's tariffs against them. 
 
begin quotes:
 
Canadian visitation to the U.S. has experienced a sustained, sharp decline since Donald Trump's return to office, with overall visitation down 35% as of April 2026 compared to 2024 levels. The downturn is widely linked to trade tensions, tariffs, and a voluntary boycott by Canadians, with some researchers noting a steeper 42% plunge in visits specifically to U.S. metropolitan areas.
Key Data on Canadian Tourism Decline (as of 2026):
  • Total Decline: Overall Canadian travel to the U.S. is down 35% compared to March 2024.
  • City Impact: Visits by Canadians to major U.S. cities have crashed by a median of 42%.
  • Road vs. Air: Automobile trips have dropped by 33.7%, while air travel decreased by 15.3%.
  • Boycott Impact: Approximately 60% of Canadians reported that U.S. government policies and rhetoric made them less likely to visit.
  • Regional Damage: Some border-area cities and top destinations, such as Myrtle Beach, S.C., experienced dips exceeding 65% in Canadian visitors, according to 2025-26 data.
The decline has significantly impacted the U.S. economy, with projections estimating a $5.7 billion loss in international tourism spending for 2025 due to plummeting Canadian and Mexican visitation.
