(Ocean View, NJ) — The New Jersey Shore is getting ready for Memorial Day weekend, considered by many the unofficial start of summer. This year, however it comes amid cancellations by Canadian tourists.
New Jersey’s tourism industry, led by Atlantic and Cape May Counties, broke records last year for the number of tourists and the amount they spent. But there are concerns about a drop-off in Canadian tourists this year because of a weak Canadian dollar and President Trump’s trade war.
Adding to summer shore woes, is the Canadian Automobile Association’s decision not to accept advertising by U.S. vacation destinations, including the Cape May Tourism office.
New Jersey boasts an extensive shoreline and numerous beaches as well as notable attractions, including Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson Township, Wildwood, Atlantic City and Cape May among many others.
