Small Las Vegas Businesses Hit by Decline in International Tourists
- Small businesses in Las Vegas and Nevada are experiencing declines due to reduced international tourism, particularly from Canadian visitors in 2024.
- This decline results from ongoing U.S.-Canada trade tensions, including tariffs and political rhetoric from President Donald Trump that have strained relations.
- WestJet passenger numbers fell 18.4%, several businesses report slower summer seasons, and official efforts include welcoming Canadian travelers and maintaining trade presence.
- Senator Cortez Masto noted Nevada's outdoor recreation generates $8.1 billion and 58,000 jobs yearly, while a Leger poll shows only 10% of Canadians plan U.S. travel this summer, down from 23%.
- The tourism drop threatens local economies reliant on Canadian visitors, prompting efforts to rekindle travel interest despite uncertain recovery amid ongoing political and economic challenges.
