*** Global Tourism Increases Everywhere Except to the US ***
"There were 80 million more international travelers in 2025 than in 2024. But many of them are skipping the US for other locales. A 20% decline in Canadian travelers, or 4.2m fewer visitors, once a major market for the US, was recorded.
International travelers are skipping the US because of fears border detainment and rampant firearm violence.
The drop in international visitors could spell trouble for the US economy, as travel is one of the country's largest export services. In 2025, visitor spending supported 15 million US jobs and generated a record-setting $3 trillion in economic output."
