Canadian snowbirds plan to ditch wintering in the U.S. over economic tensions: survey
Only 26% of Canadian snowbirds plan to travel to the U.S. this winter, a 37% decline due to rising costs, political tensions, and new entry requirements, survey shows.
- A new survey shows only 26 per cent of Canadians plan U.S. trips, a 37 per cent drop from last year, as many snowbirds skip November travel to U.S. destinations.
 - Rising costs and political unease—Canadians cite rising travel costs and new U.S. rules requiring biometric registration and a $30 fee for stays over 30 days as deterrents.
 - Some travellers are opting for Europe, with Canadians naming Portugal and Spain, while interest in Mexico and the Caribbean rises as some shift from U.S. ownership or rentals, THIA said.
 - The steepest decline affects baby boomers aged 61 and older, with only 10 per cent likely to go to the U.S., a 66 per cent drop from 2024, but snowbird property owners in Florida and Arizona say they will still go.
 - Some travellers may keep a lower profile while others could return if U.S. destinations cut prices or run sales, says Barry Choi, travel expert.
