Some businesses in Hampton are experiencing cancellations from Canadian tourists following a boycott called by former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Canadians typically make up 20% of the area's visitors, contributing $3-4 million annually. Local business leaders believe the impact of the boycott may be limited. Some Canadian renters have expressed concerns, but many repeat customers still plan to visit Hampton this summer. The Hampton Chamber of Commerce is actively engaging with Canadian tourists. They will attend a tourism expo in Montreal to gauge interest in visiting New Hampshire this summer.
