United States - Fearing higher prices and President Donald Trump 's tariff policies , Mexicans and Canadians will stop visiting US cities such as Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, San Antonio and even Miami and Orlando, which will cause a damage of 64 billion dollars for the American Union, if all the quotas proposed by the Republican are applied, according to a study by Oxford Economics.
These tourists are opting for Colombia, Peru, Argentina and Chile.
The number of rooms occupied by Canadian visitors is expected to fall by 27 percent and by 18 percent in the case of Mexicans due to the distrust of traveling to the United States.
In the report "Scenario of expanded trade wars in the U.S. tourism sector", the firm indicated that the drop in revenue from foreign visitors alone will amount to $18 billion dollars.
In this regard, the president of the Mexican Federation of Tourism Associations (Fematur), Jorge Hernandez, stated that Canadians and Mexicans "are trying to avoid the US due to the actions implemented by its president. They do not want to go to this country because of security and discomfort. It is a phenomenon that has not been registered for many years".
The executive considered that there is discomfort among Mexican nationals due to the Republican's policies, which is causing them to reduce their trips to this nation.
