There has been a drop in the number of visitors to Las Vegas. City officials and tourism leaders have discussed the many challenges affecting the industry. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) has pointed to international relations as a major reason for the decline, linking it to decisions made by the current Trump administration.
This has had a particularly strong impact on tourism from Canada, which is the city’s biggest source of international visitors. According to LVCVA president Steve Hill, visits from this specific market have fallen by more than 20 percent. However, even with this big drop, overall international visitor numbers have stayed steady, showing no decrease.
