flag Toronto Blue Jays' spring training boosts Dunedin’s economy despite Canadian tourism drop.

flag The Toronto Blue Jays’ spring training in Dunedin, Florida, has helped sustain the city’s economy amid a 25% drop in Canadian tourism to Florida since 2024, following political tensions after former President Donald Trump’s remarks and tariffs. flag While other Pinellas County areas saw declines, Dunedin experienced month-over-month tourism growth in 2025, with tourism tax collections up 9.6%. flag The Blue Jays’ presence supports an estimated $200 million in annual economic impact and 1,600 jobs, largely due to Canadian fans staying for six weeks during spring training and break, boosting downtown small businesses.
