CLOSER LOOK: Did Donald Trump mess up your vacation plans?
Tonight on 'Closer Look': As global travellers steer clear of the United States — and more Ontarians plan to vacation close to home — this could be a super summer for our province's tourism sector.
In cities and towns across Ontario — and at Queen’s Park and Parliament Hill — our journalists work for you. Their mission is to dig for answers and tell you what they find.
This new feature — ‘Closer Look’ — is a chance to hear directly from those reporters and editors. These conversations go beyond the headlines, helping viewers better understand how we gather the details that land in your local news feed.
On tonight's episode: A Trump-inspired tourism boom?
A report from Time magazine projects that foreign visitors to the U.S. will spend $9 billion less this year than in 2024, while Bloomberg reports that European tourists are now avoiding the United States altogether.
Could this be a golden opportunity for Ontario's tourism sector? It just might.
Some communities are already working hard to market themselves as friendly, must-visit destinations for foreign travellers who might otherwise vacation in the U.S. The Tourism Industry Association of Ontario (TIAO) also projects that more Ontarians will be vacationing closer to home this summer, which the group's president calls "very positive news."
