International visitors are ditching the U.S. in favor of other destinations during President Trump’s divisive second term.
Numbers were down some 4.2 percent in 2025, the first annual decline since the Covid-19 pandemic decimated international travel, International Trade Administration figures showed. The U.S. Travel Association said there has been a decline of about 11 million international tourists, the equivalent of $50 billion in lost spending.
To add insult to injury, the rest of the world continues to rally in a post-pandemic era. Global international travel increased 4 percent in the same 12-month period, according to the U.N.’s tourism agency.
