Canadian tourists are drastically reducing their travel to the US, and tourists from other countries may follow suit, threatening to further worsen the US travel deficit of up to 50 billion US dollars. Experts analyzed that policies such as poor exchange rates, the Trump administration's trade policy, annexation of Canada remarks, high-profile arrests of visa holders, and long waiting periods for visas are increasing the tense relationship between the US and traditional allies, causing tourists to be discouraged. Statistics Canada data shows that in February of this year, the number of flights returned to Canada by Canadians from the US dropped by 13% compared to last year, while the number of return trips by car decreased by 23%. Another challenge facing the US tourism industry this year is the increasing number of travel warnings about traveling to the US. So far, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Denmark, and Finland have all issued travel warnings for their own citizens planning to visit the US.
