Summary
Canadian travelers turned away from the U.S. in 2025, slashing $3.3 billion in spending as “Buy Canadian” sentiment surged amid U.S. political tensions. Leisure trips dropped 21%, family visits declined, and flights to the U.S. fell nearly 8%, while overseas travel soared to $81.3 billion — a clear shift fueled by boycotts and policy-driven distrust. Though April 2025 saw a 1.8% rebound in U.S. return trips, mostly by car, airlines are adapting by cutting U.S. routes and expanding global ones, signaling a lasting change in how Canadians explore the world.
