Isabel Harder reports for the CBC:
Paddock isn't alone. Dan Kelleher, CEO of the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism (ROOST) in Lake Placid, N.Y., says hotel revenue in the region is down about eight per cent, and restaurant sales are down 20 to 30 per cent.
He blames boycotts as well as economic fears — the Canadian dollar has been hovering at a value of about 73 cents U.S. for months.
"I think some of that is just general economic anxiety related to tariff threats, both [from] Americans and our Canadian visitors," he said.
ROOST has increased its marketing budget for the region, but businesses are still feeling the pinch.
