Strip resort executives aren’t the only tourism leaders concerned that international customers are avoiding Nevada this summer.
Mandi Elliott, executive director of the Nevada Outdoor Business Coalition, said last week that the trade organization’s members worry about the general malaise toward U.S. travel, which could financially harm the state’s tourism industry.
During an event organized at Clark County Wetlands Park by Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) to highlight issues facing Nevada’s outdoor tourism, Elliott said organization members have lost business from Canadian customers for the same reasons they are avoiding the Strip.
Las Vegas-based Base Camp Outdoors, which leases camping, hiking and ancillary equipment for outdoor excursions, received several cancellations from Canadians who decided against traveling to the U.S. “because of the current administration’s policies,” Elliott said.
