From the Paper:

"The percentage of loss for Canada was exceeded only by the loss for Montserrat, a region suffering from volcanic explosions since 1995; Aruba, in decline since the Natalee Holloway disappearance; and Uruguay. While the drop for these other regions can be explained by various unusual circumstances, the decline for Canada appears to be more basic and to relate largely to the perception the world has of Canada as an unexciting destination. Certain specific issues can be cited with reference to tourism from the United Sates, however, such as changes in travel rules so that in the near future, a passport will be required."
