Organizers report fewer U.S. visitors to Canadian Tulip Festival

The Canadian Tulip Festival in Ottawa drew about 300,000 visitors this year, roughly 100,000 fewer than usual. Organizers said the shortfall was partly due to fewer Americans traveling north of the border, pointing to softer cross-border leisure demand. The impact appears limited and localized, with little broader market significance.
