LGBTQ+ Tourism Plummets Amid US Policies | JQJO

Anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and policies in the U.S., coupled with trade tensions, are causing a decline in international LGBTQ+ tourism. Canadian travelers, in particular, are choosing to vacation domestically, impacting U.S. businesses. A significant drop in foreign visitor spending is projected, with LGBTQ+ travel platforms showing substantial booking declines from Canadian and European users. This shift reflects a broader trend of travelers using their spending power as a form of activism, favoring inclusive destinations.
