Massive Drop Seen in Tourist Visits to U.S.

Some travelers to the U.S. are posting shocking images to social media of nearly empty planes, as international perceptions of the States suffer. International visits are forecast to decline by 9.2% in 2025, driven by the impact of higher tariffs on the global economy and negative sentiment toward the U.S. due to the Trump administration’s policies. New York City predicts it will see hundreds of thousands fewer tourists.
