YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Some Canadians are changing their travel plans and heading to international destinations outside of the United States. We speak with two Canadian snowbirds. One decided to travel to Mexico rather than make their annual trip to Texas. Another returned to their Florida home — not without some hesitation — only to find fewer Canadians around. And we hear from Wayne Smith, director of the Institute for Hospitality and Tourism Research on the latest numbers, what's driving them and what that means for local economies.
