Logan Airport is starting to see decline in Canadian travelers
The drop in April marked the first year-over-year decline in Canadian visitors at the airport in 2025; the total is still up slightly for the year so far, when compared to the first four months of 2024. (May passenger traffic numbers are not yet public.) Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'That's obviously incredibly disappointing [but] with one month of data, I'm not ready to press the panic button,' Davey said in an interview earlier this month, after Massport published the April numbers. Advertisement National statistics released by the Canadian government last week indicate the trend most likely continued at Logan through May. Plane trips by Canadian residents from the US fell 24 percent in May, year over year, while Canadian vehicular trips from the US fell 38 percent. The backlash in Canada started early this year. Then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urged Canadians to vacation in their home country instead of going to the US, as President Trump imposed new tariffs on goods imported from Canada and talked repeatedly about the benefits of Canada becoming the '51st state.' Advertisement Current prime minister Mark Carney has strongly rebuffed the 51st state idea, though he indicated several days ago that he's hopeful about progress with the Trump administration on trade issues. In an attempt to counteract some of the Trump administration's hostility, Governor Maura Healey on Monday will be hosting in Boston several Canadian premiers and governors from Northeast states to talk about ways to maintain strong economic relations among the states and provinces. Much is at stake: Visiting Canadians spent an estimated $20 billion in the US last year. Amid the pushback in Canada to US leisure travel, JetBlue decided to cancel a new flight from Boston to Halifax it had planned, and Porter Airlines cut one of its Boston flights to Ottawa. Travel research firm Tourism Economics is predicting much bigger drops ahead for Greater Boston, with 657,000 Canadian visits expected to the region in 2025, a 20 percent decline from 2024, and a 24 percent drop from what was originally projected for 2025. David O'Donnell, a vice president with the Meet Boston tourism bureau, said his organization hasn't yet heard from local hotels about Canadian travel, but it expects a decline in international travelers to pick up in the summer. Many visitors who booked in the first half of the year would have faced cancellation fees if they opted not to come, but in the second half of the year, many of the bookings will reflect decisions made since Trump took office. Concerns about Canadian tourism prompted state Senator John Keenan of Quincy to file a budget amendment last month requiring the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism to report to the Legislature the feasibility of promoting Massachusetts as a destination for residents of countries showing a decline in travel to this state in 2025. The Senate adopted the language as part of its state budget proposal, but its fate now remains tied to House-Senate budget negotiations. Advertisement 'Clearly our Canadian numbers, like those at a lot of other [US] airports, are going in the wrong direction,' Davey said. 'I hope it's not a canary in the coal mine for us, but we're going to keep a close eye on it.' Jon Chesto can be reached at

Airbnb says thousands of B.C. reservations at risk, blaming ‘rushed' rental rules
VANCOUVER - Short-term vacation rental platform Airbnb said Friday that 'thousands' of reservations in British Columbia are at risk of cancellation, accusing the province of rushing out regulations as it cracked down on the industry. Alex Howell, Airbnb's Canadian policy lead, said in an interview that the rules requiring short-term rental hosts to confirm their listings are legal under the changes have already led to some bookings being cancelled. The government has said platforms such as Airbnb can't post B.C. listings without confirming their registration with the province, but Howell said many hosts whose properties qualify can't register due to glitches and other problems with the new system. 'Typically, we would have worked with a government for six months to do live testing, to make sure that things are working the way they should,' Howell said. 'And unfortunately in this situation, B.C. really just rushed into launching the system that hadn't been fully tested, and that's what's brought us to this situation.' She said that property owners have reported that typos and formatting errors have prevented them from registering with the province, despite meeting all the legal criteria for hosting short-term rentals. The province had said that short-term rentals are being restricted to principal residences, a secondary suite or a structure such as a laneway house on the property, and the policy is meant to open up more units in B.C.'s rental housing market. Howell said the timing of B.C.'s latest rules on short-term rentals is especially impactful, just ahead of the busy summer tourist season. 'Thousands of reservations across the province are now at risk,' she said. 'These are registered, compliant hosts that are failing validation protocols through no fault of their own. 'And this impacts … thousands of reservations across the province, at least 50 per cent of which are domestic travellers who are following their own government's advice to support local and travel within Canada this year.' Howell said instead of waiting until the June 23 deadline — when bookings on unregistered B.C. properties would be cancelled — Airbnb is proactively contacting affected hosts and guests to offer penalty-free cancellations. 'We think it's irresponsible to wait until the 23rd to alert travellers that there might be an issue,' she said. 'We're trying to get them that information ahead of time so that they can make some informed decisions.' In a statement, Housing Minister Ravi Kahlon said the province is confident that 'Airbnb will find solutions to their challenges with getting listings verified ahead of the June 23 deadline.' 'We hope that Airbnb will choose to support their hosts in verifying their listings, instead of cancelling their bookings,' Kahlon said. 'This is new ground for B.C., and we are working through ServiceBC, our short-term rental branch, and the platforms themselves to help hosts comply with the requirements.' The ministry also noted that there are 65 short-term rental platforms operating in B.C., and other platforms have been successful in supporting their hosts to get registered. In a separate statement, the Opposition B.C. Conservatives criticized the short-term rental policies of the New Democrat government, with Prince George-Valemount legislator Rosalyn Bird saying the regulations running counter to the province's efforts to promote local travel. 'How do you promote staycations while sabotaging the short-term rental market that makes them possible in small towns?' Bird said in the statement. 'The Premier (David Eby) says 'travel within B.C.', and then his government kneecaps our ability to welcome those travellers.' This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 13, 2025.
