US Tariffs Threaten Indigenous Tourism Rebound in Northern Canada

US tariffs threaten the Indigenous tourism rebound in Northern Canada, just as the industry was getting back on its feet after COVID-19.

That is reported by Eye on the Arctic.

The Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada said that Indigenous tourism had its best year in 2019 before being brought down by COVID-19 in March 2020.

The association said the industry has yet to fully recover to pre-pandemic levels, especially in the Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut.

And now, an extended tariff war with the US could discourage American tourists from visiting northern Canada, where US tourists have historically been a significant demographic for high-spending activities like fishing and hunting.
