US EditionSmall Las Vegas Businesses Hit by Decline in International Tourists
- Small businesses in Las Vegas and other U.S. regions have experienced a decline in international tourists in 2024, especially from Canada.
- This drop follows escalating U.S.-Canada trade tensions marked by tariffs and political rhetoric, which have discouraged Canadian travel.
- Local business owners like Andrew Vergalito and Adam Yazdi rely heavily on summer tourist income from Canadians, but report fewer customers and quiet tourism.
- Data shows a significant 18.4% drop in WestJet passengers and a 32% decline in Maine's international visits in May 2024, with only 10% of Canadians planning U.S. trips this summer.
- Efforts by officials and tourism groups aim to promote welcoming attitudes and recover visitor numbers, but businesses brace for a slower summer season amid ongoing uncertainties.
