As the trade war between the United States and Canada intensifies, a major casualty is tourism. Specifically, the number of Canadians traveling to the United States has rapidly declined due to a combination of factors. Many Canadians are straight up boycotting the United States but the low Loonie in relation to the USD is making American travel incredibly expensive. Plus, getting across the American border without difficulty is becoming a bit of a pipe dream.
Canadians are making plans to travel to other countries that are more affordable and safer. But even more Canadians are making their upcoming vacation plans in their home countries. Canada is an incredibly large country offering a variety of travel experiences to choose from. As such, residents are looking into travel options within its borders that they haven't tried before and reconnecting with old destinations they forgot about when traveling to the United States.
One major beneficiary of this huge change are businesses who sell or rent RVs and trailers. With spring setting in across the country, Canadians are making plans to enjoy their home to its fullest. Dealers and rental companies alike are already seeing increased interest in their products. Summer months in Canada are short, so huge increases in visits to local, provincial, and national parks are all expected to increase dramatically.
For anyone who hasn't made the jump already, RVs and trailers are a great way to have a variety of experiences across the country. They can also be quite expensive. As such, rentals will be a good option for families looking to explore the country but don't want to invest tens of thousands of dollars can still take advantage of the opportunity.
