U.S. Rep. Dina Titus, D-Nev., introduced legislation today that would direct the U.S. Trade Representative to create a transnational working group with Canada and Mexico to improve trade and tourism between the countries, according to a news release.
The effort comes after a steep decline in Canadian tourism to Las Vegas. WestJet and Air Canada, the country’s two largest airlines, had 27.8% and 21.9% fewer passengers go through Harry Reid International Airport last year compared to 2024, according to the airport’s data.
Volaris, Mexico’s largest airline, saw a smaller 3.2% decline in passengers to Las Vegas, according to Harry Reid International Airport. Titus pinned the blame for the decline on President Donald Trump, saying he’s alienated the countries “through his words and policies.”
