Canadians Cut U.S. Travel Amid Policy Shifts | Calgary News

Canadians slashed their U.S. travel spending by $3.3 billion in 2025, bringing total trips down to $18.1 billion — with leisure travel taking the biggest hit. Fewer than 7.4 million trips were made, a 21% drop, as travelers opted for domestic or international alternatives.
