Data from hotel site Trivago shows fewer US bookings by holidaymakers from Canada, Japan, Mexico and Germany
Holidaymakers in countries hit the hardest by Donald Trump’s trade tariffs are taking the US off their list for trips abroad, according to online travel booking data.
Findings from the hotel search site Trivago also suggest that UK and US travellers are increasingly choosing domestic holidays amid concerns over an uncertain economy.
The company has seen double-digit percentage declines in bookings to the US from travellers based in Japan, Canada and Mexico. The latter two countries were the first on Trump’s tariff hitlist when he announced tariffs of 25% on 1 February.
Canadians in particular were incensed at Trump’s repeated suggestions that its northern neighbour would be better off annexed as the 51st state of the US.
As an American, even the ones that aren’t should stay away. Why visit a place where you might get kidnapped by government sanctioned brute squads and sent to a death camp in another country?
Yes, I think a lot of Americans are not aware that there are official travel warnings against going to the United States and for good reasons.
alot of them are still in denial, or ignorant of the situation.
Yeah, the tariffs are way less important than this. I’m planning a trip and I’ll be taking a longer, more expensive route just to not land in the US. For a connection (which you require a full visa for)
I’m going to be flying from Canada to Canada later this year and want to make sure the flight path stays inside our airspace.
Or on the business end of a bullet from some jerkoff with a grudge and an arsenal of AR-15’s?
