00:04Travel to America is expected to drop by 5 percent this year,
00:08potentially costing the industry a staggering $64 billion in 2025.

00:28Canadians, the most frequent international visitors, are now staying away in droves.
00:33Car trips from Canada to the U.S. plummeted by 23 percent last month alone.
00:38And it's not just Canada. Travel from Western Europe is also declining,
00:42with German tourists choosing Canada over the U.S.
00:46One traveler put it simply,
00:48we won't come back to the U.S. until things change significantly.
