ManhattanBNB Introduces ‘Reverse Tariff’ for Canadian Travelers Amid U.S. Trade Tensions

The NYC-based vacation rental advertising platform is offering a ‘reverse tariff’—a 10% discount for Canadian travelers—to reinforce cross-border goodwill

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, March 5, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ManhattanBNB (www.manhattanbnb.com), a pioneering vacation rental advertising platform founded by New York City-area hosts, is proud to introduce a “reverse tariff” for Canadian travelers. In response to new U.S. tariffs on Canadian imports, ManhattanBNB is offering a 10% discount to all Canadian guests—a gesture of goodwill to counteract economic strain and reaffirm the strong bond between the two nations.

Starting immediately, Canadian visitors browsing ManhattanBNB’s collection of vacation rentals will be invited—in both English and French—to use the promo code OHCANADA to access the discount.

“Canadians have long been among the most enthusiastic visitors to New York, and we want them to know they’re always welcome here,” said Alexandre Ramani, Managing Partner of ManhattanBNB. “While politicians may feud, at ManhattanBNB, we believe in building bridges, not barriers. This ‘reverse tariff’ is our way of saying thank you to our northern neighbors—and reminding them that they remain our friends, neighbo(u)rs, partners, and allies.”

Recent trade tensions between the U.S. and Canada, along with calls for Canadians to reconsider U.S. travel, have contributed to a decline in Canadian visitors. ManhattanBNB hopes this initiative reassures Canadians that many Americans reject divisive economic policies and deeply value U.S.-Canada ties.


ManhattanBNB Reaches Key Growth Milestone
This announcement comes at a pivotal moment for ManhattanBNB, which recently surpassed 100 hosts on its platform—marking a significant milestone in its mission to provide unique and locally-driven accommodations across New York City. Since its launch, ManhattanBNB has grown steadily, offering travelers a diverse range of stays, from historic brownstones to artist lofts across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and beyond.

Unlike large corporate rental platforms, ManhattanBNB ensures that more of the revenue from short-term stays remains in the hands of independent property hosts rather than global conglomerates. By continuing to expand its offerings and introducing initiatives like the “reverse tariff,” ManhattanBNB is reinforcing its commitment to fairness, flexibility, and inclusivity in the short-term rental ecosystem.
