Surprised Canadians would pick the US as a tourist destination to begin with. Europe is cheaper and more fun. America's one advantage: nature, is matched and at times exceeded by Canada. Flights to warm places like Miami and SD take just as long as Mexico or the Caribbean. Other than NYC and Utah-area national parks, I can't think of unique reasons for Canadians to vacation in the US specifically.

US is far easier to get to. Just go to a Maine or NH beach the the summer. People from Quebec are everywhere. FWIW, you have not lived until you see a way overweight man wearing only a tiny bikini bathing suit :)

I remember flying Alaska Airlines out of SFO and when I went to check-in at the International Terminal, the gate agent said "Canada isn't International" and looked at me like I was the dumbest human on the planet.
Either she was seeing Trump's future, or....

Shorter, cheaper flights. Toronto to Orlando is 2.5 hrs I think?
The only European airport that does this is Dublin, last I checked.

#17If only that was to translate to cheaper hotel room prices in the US. Currently they are sky high.

#18US prices are insane if you're paid in CAD. The good news is that Canada is great if you're paid in USD and are used to costal prices. It's like going to a third world country.

Trump has been devaluing the dollar quite rapidly. Give it time. The US will become a like developing nation in no time.
