In the first three months since President Donald Trump’s inauguration, 166,000 fewer travelers came into Maine from Canada, a decline of 26% over the same period in 2024.

Fewer visitors came to Maine from Canada in April – 147,000 – than during any month since May of 2022. That total is down 35% from April 2024.
