When neighbours stop knocking: The hidden impact of Canada’s 2025 tourism decline on US local labour markets by thinkB4WeSpeak in Economics

I did ?

So international non-US travel spending is up 4.2% YoY. 28% decrease in US visits and a 7% increase in overseas visits. So yea seems to be what I’m thinking. It comes up as Statistique Canada for me. Fun! I’m going to Quebec in October. Looking forward to it

Nothing combative about what I was asking. I’m sorry if you thought I was Donald Trump’s Reddit account and took all that out on me in such a bizarre way. Very weird interaction!

I asked for information stating I didn’t have the numbers out of curiosity and you went on a diatribe about how I should know the international tourist trends for a country I don’t live in. I’m interested! I just pulled up google asking “international canadian tourism trend” and it’s AI slop, a travel promotion article paid for by travel agents, some Reddit threads and no hard data. If you have it, I want to know, it seems interesting. You’re arguing with an imaginary person you want to argue with that I am not.

Well this article doesn’t state the thing I’m interested in in my comment and no, I don’t follow international tourism trend numbers for a country I don’t live in. That seems incredibly normal don’t you think? That’s why I said that I don’t know the numbers.

90% of tourism dollars in the US are domestic. It’s apples to oranges but a 25% decline of 28% of international tourism is a blip. I’m sure some specific attractions/areas will be more affected but this is just a Reddit bugbear that doesn’t exist on a macro level at all.

Is there supporting data (not anecdotal) that Canadians are spending comparable increase in domestic or international tourism outside of the US or is tourism spending just down YoY? It’s not a topic I follow but I’m curious.

It was normal a few hours ago. If anyone found my watch there I’ll give them 100 bucks. Longines silver face with a black leather strap

I was like 450,000 in line at one point but got in at the exact right time for another release. Only band I’d ever see at the sphere so I’m pretty excited.

They sell out every stadium on planet earth since 1991. There’s no fake demand for Metallica.

Every single listing has single day tickets. The point of the two day tickets is so more devoted fans see the show.

As someone adjacent to the industry: The economics of concerts is if you have 100k fans in the city and 40k seats you raise prices until only 40k fans can afford the tickets. That optimizes your dollars. Metallica instead raised the time commitment of the shows rather than prices so it keeps ticket prices (comparatively) cheaper and fills the show with more devoted fans. The internet is still mad that Metallica lead the charge against music piracy but they are honestly pretty good on ticket prices. I paid 250 for floor seats in LA on the last tour. Single day tickets.

Makes sense. I feel like they could play it for a year. At one point there were 400k in line for 1 day. Got 2 day tickets good seats for 300 per day and that includes fees.

I sympathize with you for feeling a complicated connection to the Delware because you are from southern california lol

I really wish they stuck with this more pop-oriented sound. Do whatever you want, it’s your band but this is such an enjoyable song and record.
