多伦多讯 邻国居民的出行方式已经和从前不一样了。
多伦多大学的一项研究显示，去年加拿大人前往美国城市的访问量减少了约42%。这一下滑幅度——比官方边境过境统计数据显示的要陡峭得多——主要归因于两国之间日益加剧的政治和贸易紧张局势。
通过追踪手机活动，多伦多大学的研究人员发现“加拿大人前往美国大都市地区的访问量同比中位数下降了约42%”。
根据官方统计数据，2025年从美国返回后入境本国的加拿大人数量下降了25%，而前往加拿大的美国居民数量则下降了75%。
研究显示，南卡罗来纳州默特尔比奇的赴美访问量降幅最大，前往这个东海岸度假胜地的加拿大人减少了约65%。亚利桑那州尤马的降幅为62%。旧金山以及佛罗里达州的迈阿密、棕榈湾和巴拿马城等其他美国十大都会区，数据显示去年前往当地的加拿大人降幅均超过50%。
该研究的作者表示，除了加拿大人度假访问量明显下降之外，数据还显示前往主要经济枢纽的访问量也大幅下滑。
“旧金山和休斯顿等高科技和金融中心不仅游客数量减少，商务出行也出现下降，这反映出边境两侧更广泛的经济不确定性导致出行偏好发生了变化，”研究报告称。
自特朗普总统第二任期开始以来，一些加拿大人一直抵制美国商品和赴美旅行，以抗议大范围关税政策、更严格的移民政策，以及这位美国领导人关于将加拿大变为美国第51个州的有争议言论。
今年早些时候，佛罗里达州的旅游业负责人开始与加拿大同行接触，试图在特朗普的政策和言论引发的反弹背景下提振旅游往来。
“我们正在尽所能，就像我们对其他任何美国以外的国家一样，确保访问量保持强劲，”佛罗里达旅游局总裁兼首席执行官布莱恩·格里芬今年2月在与加拿大官员举行会议前说道。
为了刻意吸引加拿大游客回流，拉斯维加斯的一些赌场和酒店今年早些时候宣布了促销活动，在8月底前提供美元与加元“等值兑换”服务。根据该活动，1加元等同于1美元，尽管加元本身价值低于美元。

Phone data reveals 42% drop in Canadian visits to U.S. last year

Toronto — The neighbors just aren’t visiting the way they used to.
A study by the University of Toronto suggests a roughly 42% reduction in visits to U.S. cities by residents of Canada last year. The drop — much steeper than official border crossing statistics suggest — is largely attributed to mounting political and trade tension between the two countries.
By tracking cellphone activity, University of Toronto researchers found “a year-over-year median decline of approximately 42% in Canadian visits to U.S. metropolitan areas.”
According to official statistics, the number of Canadians who entered the country after returning from the U.S. in 2025 was down 25%, while the number of U.S. residents visiting Canada dropped 75%.
According to the study, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, saw the biggest drop, with some 65% fewer Canadian residents coming home from the East Coast vacation hot spot. Yuma, Arizona, saw a 62% decrease. San Francisco and the Florida cities of Miami, Palm Bay and Panama City were among the other top 10 U.S. metro areas where the data indicates a more than 50% drop in visiting Canadians last year.
The study’s authors say, aside from the evident drop in vacation visits by Canadians, the data also reveals a sharp drop in visits to major economic hubs.
“High-tech and financial centers like San Francisco and Houston appear to be experiencing reductions not only in tourists but also in business-related travel, reflecting changing travel preferences due to broader economic uncertainties on both sides of the border,” the study says.
Since the start of President Trump’s second term in office, some Canadians have boycotted U.S. goods and travel in response to sweeping tariffs, stricter immigration policies, and controversial remarks by the American leader about making Canada the 51st U.S. state.
Early this year, tourism leaders in Florida were reaching out to their Canadian counterparts to try and boost travel amid the backlash to Mr. Trump’s policies and remarks.
“We’re doing what we can, just as we are with any country outside the United States, to make sure that visitation remains strong,” Visit Florida President and CEO Bryan Griffin said in February, ahead of meetings with Canadian officials.
In a deliberate bid to lure back Canadian visitors, some casinos and hotels in Las Vegas announced promotions earlier this year offering a currency exchange rate of “At Par” between U.S. and Canadian dollars through the end of August. Under the offer, $1 Canadian is equal to $1 U.S., despite the lower value of the Canadian currency.
