• Hotel bookings from Canada, Mexico and Japan have plunged by double digits following President Trump’s tariffs on their exports, according to Trivago.
• Tougher border controls and enhanced immigration checks have raised safety fears, deterring prospective travelers as noted by the U.S. Travel Association.
• A strong U.S. dollar has made American travel more expensive for foreigners, amplifying declines in European and Canadian demand.
