Biden administration’s decision to allow vaccinated people to enter the U.S. by land for any reason starting Nov. 8 has Canadian snowbirds returning
Ian and Heather Stewart are savouring the idea of leaving behind this winter’s sub-zero temperatures when the U.S. reopens its borders to non-essential land travel next week and they launch a long-delayed drive to their seasonal home in Fort Myers, Fla.
Vacasa, a management company for over 30,000 vacation homes in North America, Belize and Costa Rica, said it saw a major rise in traffic on its online platform after the new rules were announced. Canadian users’ views at rentals in snowbird-popular destinations jumped by 120%. “The phones have been ringing off the hook since they announced the border will be reopened,” said Kate Ebert, manager of the Sundance 1 RV Resort in Casa Grande, halfway between Phoenix and Tucson.
Arizona’s Office of Tourism says close to 1 million Canadian tourists accounted for $1-billion in spending in 2019. That plunged to 257,000 Canadians who spent $325 million last year.
