[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“A key factor dragging business for some Gulf Coast tourist destinations is the lack of foreign arrivals — particularly from Canada. Canadian visitors, long a lifeline for Florida’s Gulf Coast, are pulling back as diplomatic tensions rise and border crossings plunge. As the Trump administration ramps up its trade war and diplomatic spat, the so-called “snowbirds” from the north are changing their travel plans.”

My parents live in SWFL and their sole income at this point comes from several investment properties that they rent to snowbirds. This is what they live on in order to avoid touching their investments, which they are counting on to cover costs once they feel they can't live independently anymore. Most of their renters come from Canada or from the Midwest. So far they have no Candadians booked for the season and two of their regulars have let them know they are not coming this year. And their domestic renters are way down, with regulars citing fears about the economy keeping them close to home. So yeah, this is real.[/quote]
