Southern Nevada tourism leaders are keeping a close eye on the U.S. bid to acquire Greenland and are hoping the matter doesn’t devolve into hard feelings by European consumers leading to decisions not to travel to the United States.
While most agree it may be too early to speculate on whether President Donald Trump’s aggressive maneuvering to take over Greenland could lead to travel decisions in 2026, some are wary that some consumers could be angry enough to cancel their U.S. travel plans.
Aviation consultants to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority earlier this month attributed some massive declines in visitation from Canada to have been the result of hard feelings by Canadians resulting from Trump’s tariff policies with Canada and his statements that he’d like to turn Canada into the 51st U.S. state.
