THE CONVERSATION: The United States is one of the\u00a0top three most<\/a>visited countries in the world. The big draw cards \u2013 cities such as San Francisco, New York and Chicago and national parks such as Yosemite \u2013 have attracted international tourists for decades. This combined with its role as a global business powerhouse meant it had\u00a066.5 million visitors in 2023<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 and the 2024 figure is expected to be higher still.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

But a lot has changed in recent months, and 2025\u2019s figures may not be as strong. The 2024 reelection of Donald Trump as the president of the United States and the consequential changes in foreign diplomacy and relations, alongside internal cultural shifts, are starting to change<\/a> global attitudes towards the US<\/a> \u2013 attitudes that appear to be affecting tourists\u2019 desire to visit the US. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a recent report by research firm Tourism Economics<\/a>, inbound travel to the US is now projected to decline by 5.5% this year, instead of growing by nearly 9% as had previously been forecast. A further escalation in tariff and trade wars could result in further reductions in international tourism, which could amount to a US$18 billion (\u00a313.8 billion) annual reduction in tourist spending in 2025.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

There is already some evidence of travel cancellations. Since Trump announced 25% tariffs on many Canadian goods, the number of Canadians driving across the border at some crossings has fallen by up to 45%<\/a>, on some days, when compared to last year. Canada is the biggest source of international tourists<\/a> to the US. Air Canada has announced it is reducing flights<\/a> to some US holiday destinations, including Las Vegas, from March, as demand reduces. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

According to a March poll by Canadian market researcher Leger<\/a>, 36% of Canadians who had planned trips to the United States had already cancelled them. According to data from the aviation analytics company OAG<\/a>, passenger bookings on Canada to US routes are down by over 70% compared to the same period last year. This comes after the U.S. Travel Association<\/a> warned that even a 10% reduction in Canadian inbound travel could result in a US$2.1 billion (\u00a31.6 billion) loss in spending, putting 140,000 hospitality jobs at risk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An unwelcoming environment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some would-be visitors have cited an unwelcoming political climate<\/a> as part of a concern about visiting the US \u2013 including angry rhetoric about foreigners, migrants and the LGBTQ+ community<\/a>. The Tourism Economics report also cited \u201cpolarizing Trump Administration policies and rhetoric\u201d as a factor in travel cancellations.<\/p>

There are other factors that may influence travellers<\/a> from, for instance, western Europe, which represented 37% of overseas travel to the US last year. These include US tariffs pushing prices up at home and the US administration\u2019s perceived alignment with Russia in the war in Ukraine.Canadian trips to the US are going down.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Research by YouGov<\/a> in March found that western European attitudes towards the US have become more negative since Trump\u2019s reelection last November. More than half of people in Britain (53%), Germany (56%), Sweden (63%) and Denmark (74%) now have an unfavourable opinion of the US. In five of the seven countries polled, figures for US favourability are at the lowest since polling began in November 2016.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Border issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some high-profile cases at the US border could also be putting off tourists. In March, a British woman was handcuffed and detained<\/a>for more than ten days by US Customs Enforcement after a visa problem. In the same month, a Canadian tourist was detained<\/a> after attempting to renew her visa at the US-Mexico border. During the 12-day detention, she was held in crowded jail cells and even put in chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mexico is the US\u2019s second largest inbound travel market. Tourism Economics<\/a> suggests that issues around new border enforcement rules will raise concerns with potential Mexican tourists. During Trump\u2019s first term in office, Mexican visits to the US fell by 3%. In February this year, air travel from Mexico had already fallen 6% when compared to 2024<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many countries including Canada<\/a> have been updating their travel advice for the US. For instance, on March 15 the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office updated its advice <\/a> for the US, warning visitors that \u201cyou may be liable to arrest or detention if you break the rules\u201d. The previous version of advice, from February, had no mention of arrest or detention. Germany<\/a> has made similar updates to its travel advisory, after several Germans were recently detained for weeks<\/a> by US border officials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiple European countries<\/a>, including France, Germany, Denmark and Norway have also issued specific travel warnings to transgender and non-binary citizens, as US authorities demand tourists declare their biological sex at birth on visa applications. This comes as the US has stopped issuing of passports with a X marker<\/a> \u2013 commonly used by those identifying as non-binary \u2013 for its own citizens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternative destinations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As thousands of travellers cancel their trips to the US<\/a>, other destinations are seeing a spike in interest. Hotels in Bermuda have reported a surge in enquiries<\/a> as Canadians relocate business and leisure trips away from the US, with some predicting a 20% increase in revenue from Canadian visits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Europe too has reported increased bookings from Canada, with rental properties experiencing a 32% jump in summer reservations<\/a> when compared to last year, according to some reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are already growing concerns<\/a> that visa and entry restrictions will disrupt fans and athletes from enjoying 2026 men\u2019s Fifa World Cup, held on sites in the US, Canada and Mexico. Visitors from some countries, such as Brazil, Turkey and Colombia, could wait up to 700 days <\/a> to obtain visas. The International Olympic Committee has also raised concerns over the 2028 Olympics Games<\/a> in Los Angeles, although US officials have insisted that \u201cAmerica will be open\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With mounting visa delays, stricter border enforcement and growing concerns over human rights and anti-minority rhetoric, the United States risks losing its appeal as a top holiday destination. The long-term impact on its tourism industry may prove difficult to reverse.<\/p>\n
