Besides being featured in two major Canadian travel trade magazines this week – first with PaxNews sharing my experience at ASTA River Cruise Expo in Vienna last month – see
and then with Travel Courier, being asked to share general insights for their Cruising Issue about river and expedition cruises – see
I was just asked to talk about Canadian travellers this week by TravelWeek.
“What I am noticing is a recent hesitation among Canadian clients when it comes to booking with U.S.-based companies, especially in light of global uncertainty and geopolitical tensions.”
That’s what I shared in a recent Travelweek article by Kathryn Folliott about evolving client mindsets—and how risk awareness now shapes not just travel insurance decisions, but booking behaviour, too.
While my insurance sales have remained strong, the shift I’m seeing is more nuanced:
📌 A growing reluctance to book with U.S.-based providers
📌 A desire to avoid U.S. stopovers altogether
📌 And rising concern around border scrutiny for Canadian travellers
As a Virtuoso Travel Cruise Icon and Canadian luxury advisor Lush Life Travel, these conversations are part of how I help clients protect not just their trip—but their peace of mind.
