Florida's international tourist numbers are down so far in 2025
DeSantis has dismissed reports that Canadians would stay away from Florida because of Trump’s actions https://www.orlandoweekly.com/news/floridas-international-tourist-numbers-are-down-so-far-in-2025-39569047 FAFO Florida |
Air Canada has cancelled some flights to FLA for the winter season. DeSantis is in denial how much Canadian snowbirds etc make an impact on his state. |
Social media posts by Canadian snowbirds, aimed at Canadian snowbirds, with advice on locating and booking winter accommodation in non-US locations appearing in the last few days. Looks like Portugal is the new Florida….

haha.. go tell the owners of businesses that rely on tourists. https://www.insidermonkey.com/blog/5-states-with-highest-tourism-revenue-in-the-us-1229616/5/ |
Why ANYONE would choose FL over Portugal is a mystery. But especially now. If I were foreign, and esp. brown skinned foreign, there is zero chance I'd step foot in the US. As much as I hate to see how far my country has fallen, I hope the World Cup and Olympics (or individual teams) rethink coming here. It's now a "sh--hole country." |
I'm pretty sure that businesses that rely on foreign tourists don't agree with you. PS. It's "fewer" people, not "less" people. You're welcome. |
Why do Americans often choose FL over Portugal? Because it’s easier. It’s often cheaper. If you live in Toronto or Montreal getting to FL is quick and easy. There’s a reason that millions of Canadians have done it for decades. |
We were at universal and Disney this summer....the parks seem to be struggling with having enough employees. I wonder if they lost a lot of international students who come here to work for summers at beaches and theme parks. I would not send my kids to America during this nonsense. |
Aww look we found the uneducated MAGA. |
Also, language. But, FL in the summer is hell, not to mention the possibility of a hurricane. |
+1 They may end up being held by ICE for something like posting something negative about Trump on social media. Why risk it? |
They are coming for weather, not culture. There are a million places they can go for weathers. Florida can rot. |
It’s just as easy to get to many countries in the Caribbean as well |
You would be surprised the number of Canadians who drive. And it is tough to drive to Portugal and the Carribean. |
