In May 2026, Canada recorded an unprecedented decrease in international tourist arrivals, marking a significant shift in its inbound visitor patterns. This decline is notable as it represents the largest drop Canada has seen in recent tourism data.
Among the countries contributing to this decrease, Mexico joined a group of nations including Jamaica, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Germany, and India. Together, these countries played a role in reducing the number of tourists traveling to Canada during that month.
