Arizona to see potential decline in Canadian visitors this winter
Nov. 10
Canadian visitor numbers to Arizona in 2025 are expected to decline due to factors like the weak Canadian dollar, increased travel costs, and most notably, a new U.S. policy requiring registration for stays over 30 days. Also, a factor is political tensions between the U.S. and Canada. There could be a decline of 20-30% in visitors. Canadian snowbirds spend approximately $1.5 billion in Arizona each year, excluding those with second homes in the state. What does this mean for the state’s economy?
Glenn Williamson, Founder & CEO, Canada Arizona Business Council, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss how this might affect Arizona tourism revenue.
