Canadian Commuters Drop Off South Florida’s Rent Rolls

Hotel chains across South Florida have already reported a 9% decline in bookings from Canadian travelers, a demographic that once accounted for roughly 15% of the region’s overnight stays.

During the Federal Reserve’s quarterly briefing, officials described the outlook as robust, noting that even with a reduced Canadian footfall, the broader economy remains resilient.
