Declining International Tourism to the U.S. Amid Political Turmoil
The current political climate in the United States, marked by policies and rhetoric from the Trump administration, is causing significant declines in international tourism. European travellers are cancelling their visits, citing fears of potential risks and a perceived hostile environment for tourists. Countries such as the UK, France, and Canada are experiencing notable drops in visitor numbers, with recent data indicating a 17% decrease in European travel to the U.S. Additionally, many international tourists are rethinking their vacation plans, opting for destinations that feel more welcoming. The tourism industry is bracing for economic repercussions as reports suggest that anger against the Trump administration is likely to cost the U.S. billions in lost tourism revenue.
