Declining Canadian tourism hits Utah hard as political tensions curb cross-border travel.

Nearly half of Utah's foreign tourists are from Canada, but due to political tensions, including threats of tariffs and border detainments, many Canadians are canceling trips to the U.S. This decline affects Utah's tourism significantly, as Canadians tend to stay longer and spend more. The Utah Office of Tourism has representatives in Canada to promote the state, but recent events have made it harder to attract visitors.
