Buy Canadian

Problem with this chart is it's missing US visitors, so it doesn't tell you all that much about the overall impact.

But man, the argument isn't some grassroots boycott of the US tourism industry. The argument is that going to an authoritarian country with a mass incarceration habit when you don't actually have to is a terrible idea. European countries are issuing travel warnings for people. ICE is detaining travellers with valid visas.

Just stay safe, the tourism industry boycott takes care of itself if you do.

I honestly can’t conceive of voluntarily traveling to the US if I lived elsewhere. Even if you have perfect knowledge of and adherence to the laws, there’s no guarantee ICE or CBP wouldn’t snatch you up and detain you for no good reason.

Well that's some useless labels at the bottom...

I have lived in Canada for 20+ years. At first, vacationing in the USA seemed OK since it was so close and, for me, it was still a foreign country (compared to my original country). However, around my fourth year in Canada and my second vacation in the USA, I started realizing it was not worth it (nothing special to see, food often terrible, etc). I have avoided it unless family was involved.

My last trip, again to meet family, was a vacation to Florida around 4 years ago... I hated every minute of it and it was as expensive as going to Europe. I know because we had saved for a trip to Europe which was swapped by this trip instead.

I will never visit Murica again if I can avoid it

Not just tourism. A ton of Canadians do routine cross border shopping, even for groceries!

If I were from another country, I sure as shit would avoid the U.S.

I just returned from vacation in Ireland. One country I'd love to stay. I do have Irish ancestry.

Why would you even want to go there now, as you can be imprisoned at any moment, and it could take weeks before you get out. With a little luck, you even end up in an El Salvador gang prison.

Everyone stay the fuck away and don't contribute to our economy as much as you can manage. Our government thinks it doesn't need anyone else for anything? Show them what that means.

Do it, but you're not really impacting the right group with that one. I live in about as tourist beach of an area as California gets which is basically nill. This area was once intended as such but without Australian sand imports California beaches are rocks and gravel. Around LA, tourism is not really a big deal outside of Disney stuff and that is pretty left leaning last I checked. Now Florida, most of that is another story.

Like usual the problem is actually American venture capital which has no boarders and is far harder to track down and boycott.

I will be curious ro see the numbers next year; Canada is yet to put a travel advisory on the US, I believe Mexico and parts of Asia and Africa have, and I know countries in Europe have. Fun and exciting times, I have never thought I would live in a time that there would be not one but two times traveling to the US was advised against, and they have both been in the 2020’s.

I want to go to America, but only to visit the geography and a few specific cities like LA, New York and Miami. But I live almost the farthest place I could be from USA so essentially it takes 3 thousand dollars to go there half of that being a plane ticket.

why would anyone go to what's now a literally lawless country. this is not a joke, the US is not safe.

purely my personal opinion. but i think the impact that done on America's Tourism are not affecting the "right people" directly. large amount of these trump supporter are in non-tourist area/town/city. it's gonna take a while for the effect of tourism trickle down to them. (and by the time it hit them, they gonna blame something else and not realize tourism was the source)

and lord knows america is really helping in that regard
