06:18 AM EDT, 09/24/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Canadian travelers continue to shun the United States destinations, said Bank of Montreal (BMO).

Return trips fell 32.4% in the past year to July, with no sign of a turnaround, noted the bank based on data from Statistics Canada.

Return trips by car, usually one-day excursions, plunged 35.8%, while trips by air are off 16.2%.

Meanwhile, the U.S. residents made 3.0% fewer trips across the northern border, a loss in visitors that is mostly offset by increased tourism from other countries (8.3%), pointed out BMO.

The "Buy Canada" movement doesn't seem to be letting up, suggesting consumers will provide timely support to the economy again this quarter as per the previous one, according to the bank.
