Tourists afraid of the U.S. are going to this country instead

With multiple countries now warning their citizens about border problems that can arise under the Trump administration, tourists from all over the world are reconsidering trips to the U.S.
The U.S. Travel Association estimated that the dropoff in Canadians visits to the U.S. that began after Trump’s imposition of tariffs and repeated references to the country as the “51st state” could result in $2.1 billion in lost revenue to the industry.
Diarmaid O’Sullivan who heads marketing at the luxury Hamilton Princess Hotel & Beach Club in Bermuda said that they’ve already seen a 20% spike in visits from Canadians who might have otherwise gone to Florida or California.
Other reports show that many Canadians are opting for both Asian countries like Japan and European ones like Italy, Spain, and Greece for their summer holidays.
