Fewer Canadians are vacationing in the U.S. But how's American tourist traffic in Windsor?

Canadian travel to the United States has dropped in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff threats.

But what about traffic flowing the other way, from the Detroit area into Windsor-Essex?

Some tourism operators say they're as busy as ever with American customers — but that's not the case for others. 

Walkerville Brewery is located near the Hiram Walker Distillery. Co-owner Mike Brkovich says U.S. customers are visiting his business everyday.

"In the last month, we've gotten a lot of Detroit-area biking groups and running groups that have been visiting us," said Brkovich. "We're very surprised at the amount of U.S. visitors we do get."

Brkovich says he believes that warmer weather and the brewery's proximity to the casino are factors motivating Americans to cross the river.

His issue with tariffs lies within the supply chain: The brewery shifted to Canadian, instead of American, suppliers in an effort to buy Canadian amid tariff threats, which the U.S. President renewed last week. 

But Brkovich says American customers have shown appreciation and loyalty. 

"I don't see a lot of this visceral [hatred], of people not getting along," said Brkovich.  

"Most of the American patrons are complimentary, they're repeat customers, they come here on a weekly basis, they buy our products. So it's been positive. [The tariffs] haven't affected us at all."

Glen Bacarro is the owner of Encore Productions which produces the Rum Runners Tour — a local theatrical show that tells the story of Windsor's Prohibition era with costumed characters and a bus tour around the city.

Bacarro, donned in a black fedora and a 1920s era costume for the tour, told CBC he feared that job worries related to the tariffs and the economy would deter tourists.

But his worries weren't reflected in the tour's sales: All eight Rum Runners Tour dates for this year sold out in less than a month.
