BURLINGTON, VERMONT, JUN 17 – Burlington aims to attract Canadian tourists with a $3,000 signage update amid a 25-30% decline in Canadian visits impacting local businesses, city officials said.
- Last night, Burlington City Councilors unanimously passed a resolution to rename Church Street as Canada Street in downtown Burlington.
- The resolution responds to strained U.S.-Canada relations caused by President Trump's tariffs and threatening remarks since February.
- Canadian visits and tourism in Vermont have sharply declined, with reservations down up to 45% and border crossings reduced by about 30%.
- Steve Wright reported that Canadian business at Jay Peak is 50% below expectations, and only 12% of survey respondents plan U.S. visits in 2024.
- The city plans to spend $3,000 on signage changes to symbolize goodwill, aiming to support the region’s reliance on Canadian visitors amid ongoing tensions.
