  "account": "In September 2025, tourism experts published a report predicting that 15 US states could suffer significant losses in visitor spending due to a decline in Canadian tourism. The report, based on projections by Tourism Economics, found that these states would be more deeply affected than the national average loss of $11 per resident. The analysis took into account the projected decline in Canadian visitor spending in each state compared to 2024, then divided that loss by the state's population, using Census Bureau data.\n\nThe 15 most affected places were ranked from least to most impacted. Massachusetts, with a projected loss of $12 per resident, was the least affected, while Hawaii, with an estimated loss of $45 per resident, faced the greatest potential loss. Notable states on the list included New Hampshire, Montana, New York, North Dakota, Arizona, Florida, California, Maine, and Vermont, each with losses ranging from $13 to $37 per resident. These states' economies are heavily reliant on Canadian tourist dollars, and the trade tensions between the US and Canada, including aggressive tariffs and political rhetoric, have contributed to the decline in Canadian travel to the US.",
