Is the U.S. losing its charm for international tourists?
The “land of opportunity” could lose $12.5 billion in 2025 due to a growing lack of trust from global travelers, according to the WTTC.
What’s going on?
Tourist detentions at borders
Confusing visa rules
Politically charged rhetoric
High entry fees
While other countries are rolling out the red carpet, the U.S. seems to be hanging a "closed" sign.
The impact is massive:
Fewer visitors from Canada, Mexico, the U.K., and South Korea
Each international tourist spends 8x more than a domestic one
Tourism spending could fall below $169B this year
The U.S. still leads in domestic tourism, but is missing out on major growth.
Without urgent action to restore trust, it could take years to bounce back to pre-pandemic levels.
Time to rethink the welcome mat?
