  "account": "Canadian travelers to New York State experienced a 26% drop in visits and a 28% decline in spending during 2025, following Donald Trump's proposed tariffs and calls for Canada to become America's 51st state. In response, New York is employing a multi-pronged approach to win back its Canadian visitors. Over 100 hotels, restaurants, attractions, and shows across New York City and the state are offering discounts, such as 30% off at Times Square hotels, Broadway shows, and observation decks at iconic landmarks like the Empire State Building. The Empire State's \"NY LOVES CANADA\" and \"Northern Neighbour Deal\" campaigns aim to entice tourists back, with special rates at hotels, museums, and attractions in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, and The Bronx. Additionally, the New York Department of Economic Development and New York City Tourism + Conventions have launched the \"I LOVE NY\" travel deal, targeting 25 hotels, restaurants, and attractions throughout the state for Canadian visitors. New York Governor Kathy Hochul emphasized that New York values and welcomes its Canadian neighbors, emphasizing that the two nations are friends by choice. Other US cities, including Las Vegas, are also offering special promotions to Canadian travelers to mitigate the financial impact of Trump's trade war.",
