US Tourism Boards Offer Discounts Amidst Tariff War with Canada

The U.S. tourism industry is making a push to attract Canadian visitors in the wake of tariffs imposed by the Trump administration.

Hotels and tourist boards are offering discounts and promotions, with some pricing rooms at par with the Canadian dollar. The 'NY Loves Canada' discount campaign has been launched in New York state, while officials in Nevada and Florida have met with Canadian travel advisors to promote their destinations.

However, a weaker Canadian dollar and rising U.S. airfares and hotel rates have pushed up the cost of American trips for Canadians. Additionally, tariffs on Canadian goods make cross-border shopping less rewarding.
