Is this moment of spring break in Mexico or Canada?
This idea seems to be because the Trump administration is confusing its neighbors by togeling their neighbors and putting countless jobs in doubt. Still, for passengers, veterans of the industry say, the experience seen will not immediately distinguish the price of flights or residences in Mexico or Canada.
Because the revenue is based on the borders of crossing goods, not people, they do not directly affect airlines and hotels. But the warfare war can also be indirect effects that can eliminate passengers’ costs, problems or both.
In all three countries, the restaurants are paying high prices for components soon and are passing with costs. In the Canadian province of Ontario, Premier Dougford ordered government -administered liquor stores to remove US alcohol products from its shelves.
In the destination of the Marketing Organization, Vancouver, the director of the Communications Suzanne Walters said that some US groups are “overcoming their near-term events” in Vancouver-not because of the tariffs but because of a reduction in jobs or deductions in government funds.
When it comes to leisure travelers, “this is a usual business.” “Our focus is on open and welcome to all our visitors, and it certainly includes our American friends.”
But the relationship is rapidly complicated. A Canadian polling firm led a March 5 web survey of the “Trump tariff tracker” found that 60 % of Americans surveyed that they consider Canada as an ally, just 31 % of Canadians said like the United States – and 30 % said they now see the United States as an enemy.
Meanwhile, in the southern Baja California, “we didn’t see any effect on the booking,” said Rodrigo Esponda, Managing Director of the Los Cabus Tourism Board. In fact, Esponda said, the number of flights from California to Los Cabo to the rise of non -stop service from Okland on March 20 and the increase in Ontario in June.
“None,” said Esponda, “The ongoing (tariff) conversation is linking the hospitality element to the destination.”
Esponda said March is the busiest month of the year. Since the annual tourism for Los Cabus has increased from 2.7 million to 3.7 million in 2019, the hotel’s average rate has increased to $ 450 a night.
Tariff’s enmity, boiling for weeks, increased on Tuesday, when the Trump administration imposed a 25 % tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada, and alleged that the countries were soft on both drug smugglers, though statistics suggest that the smuggling is less.
Canada then said it would get 25 % of the taxes on many US goods in the next three weeks. Mexico’s President Claudia Shenbam, who warned that no one would win under President Donald Trump’s proposal, said that Mexico would retaliate and “aggressive, notoriously and without help” Trump’s claims of corruption in Mexico’s drug trade.
Subsequently, Trump moved to remove the automobile from measures. And then on Thursday – Two days in new revenue – Trump overturned the course, saying he would delay revenue on many of Canada and Mexican’s goods by April 2. (Trump has also increased China by 10 %, with China’s retaliation in the coming days.)
Airplanes and hotel rates, on the one hand, have already closed some potential passengers, especially in Canada.
Another ledger survey revealed that 16 % of Canadian respondents have canceled visits to the United States, while 1 % of US respondents have canceled visits to Canada.
If high taxes are imposed and in several weeks or more weeks, former soldiers of the travel industry say they will expect cross -border business travel, which is an important source of income for airlines and hotels. With the help of low -business passengers, airlines can reduce the number of flights, receive more leisure passengers or receive less, and expect to speed up demand.
“If they see such a drop -off, you will see small aircraft and less frequency and more cost,” said John Disclacation, a publisher at Janjet.com Newsletter and Canada. Disala noted that last month, as tariff dispute was heating up, Air Canada announced that it would reduce the service of several US cities.
In a very long period, more revenues increase the cost of building, buying and leasing of jets, which puts pressure on airlines to raise prices.
Even if the current stand-off is cool, bad blood can be delayed, many of the industry viewers have said-and not only in Canada. The next day after Trump’s address to the Congress, the snap survey revealed that 72 % of experienced passengers are expected to “be considered less welcome and more negative as a result of US Trump’s global trade policies abroad.”
Following Trump’s speech in Congress on Tuesday, a survey conducted by a global rescue by Global Rescue, providing medical care, security and risk management services to passengers, questioned more than 1,100 passengers after Trump’s speech in Congress.
“The figures are clear,” said Dan Richards, CEO of global rescue companies, in a prepared statement. “This does not mean that Americans should cancel their travel plans, but they should be aware of their surroundings, follow cultural sensitivity, and take active measures to reduce potential risks.”
On March 3, Openja.com reported that the Flight Center Travel Group Canada saw a 40 % reduction among Canadian people who booking leisure tours to the United States.
Nevertheless, when talked about Canadian hosts with US visitors, Disala said they did not expect too much fireworks. Will Americans welcome? All my Canadian readers said they would be, unless they wear mega hats or ’51st state’ shirt. “They don’t think it’s ridiculous. And I do not accuse them.
Meanwhile, in Mexico, there is another tariff situation to keep passengers in mind. In December 2024, the Mexican Senate approved a $ 42-head tax on foreign foreigner cruise passengers implemented on July 1.
The move protested from the cruise lines, but it is unique. Foreign tourists arriving in Mexico were already being compared to comparisons. Also, in the past two years, locations in New Zealand, Greece and Iceland have taxed or raised taxes on cruise passengers.
