Industry experts are urging stakeholders to adopt strategic measures to counteract this trend, such as targeted marketing campaigns and attractive travel packages. As the U.S. anticipates traditionally high tourism periods, understanding and addressing the underlying causes of dwindling Canadian visits becomes crucial for mitigating long-term impacts.
