US: Fears rise as tariffs may drive Canadian 'snowbird' tourists away from Florida
Concerns are rising in Florida that the current trade tensions and wider political disputes between the U.S. and Canada could hurt the state's tourism industry by potentially reducing the number of Canadian visitors flocking to the state. While U.S. President Donald Trump has delayed his proposed 25 percent tariffs on most products from Canada for at least another month, levies on aluminum and steel took effect on Wednesday, and Trump has threatened more tariffs on Canadian lumber and dairy products. In response, Canada has imposed retaliatory tariffs on many U.S. imports and a hefty surcharge on all electricity exports to three northern U.S. states. Meanwhile, Canada's new Prime Minister Mark Carney, who officially took office on Friday after succeeding Justin Trudeau, said in his election victory speech that Trump is "attacking Canadian workers, families and businesses" and slammed the U.S. president for his "unjustified tariffs" on Canada and repeated remarks about annexing the country. This escalating trade war could cast a shadow over the tourism industry, given the important role Canadian visitors play in the U.S. travel sector. According to the U.S. Travel Association, 20.4 million Canadians visited the U.S. in 2024, generating 20.5 billion U.S. dollars in spending and supporting 140,000 jobs. The impact of the tariffs is expected to be felt in the state of Florida, where Canadian tourists make up a significant portion of visitors. Many of them are known as "snowbirds" for choosing to spend the long Canadian winters in the much warmer climate of Florida. The state's official tourism marketing organization recorded 3.2 million Canadian visitors last year, marking a 19.8 percent increase from 2022 and the highest number by far from any country. William Buzzi, a Florida store manager, proudly emphasized that the scenic beauty of Hollywood Beach, which runs between Ft. Lauderdale and Miami, attracts many tourists who generate substantial spending. However, he expressed frustration over the ongoing trade tensions and the Trump administration's handling of the situation. While many Canadian tourists insist they will keep on coming, some acknowledge that the wider economic impact brought by the tariffs, which could hit the Canadian dollar hard, may deter travelers from heading to Florida. Denis Forget, another Canadian tourist, stated that some might change their travel plans due to currency fluctuations and other factors, but added he would still …
