Anger over the Trump administration’s tariffs and foreign policy will likely cause international travel to the U.S. to fall even further than expected this year, an influential travel forecasting company said Tuesday.
Tourism Economics said it expects the number of people arriving in the U.S. from abroad to decline by 9.4% this year. That’s almost twice the 5% drop the company forecast at the end of February.
At the beginning of the year, Tourism Economics predicted a booming year for international travel to the U.S., with visits up 9% from 2024.
The decline will have consequences for airlines, hotels, national parks and other sites frequented by tourists. Tourism Economics expects travel from Canada to plummet 20% this year. — Associated Press
