The U.S. saw about 4.5 million non-U.S. citizen visitor arrivals last month. This number represents a decrease of nearly 13% from 2019, before the global health crisis, and a drop of nearly 10% from the previous year. Airlines like Delta and Frontier have withdrawn their 2025 outlooks due to a cloudy economic forecast and reduced near-term demand. Delta’s president, Glen Hauenstein, noted a significant impact on domestic travel, particularly in the main cabin, with both consumer and corporate travel showing weakness. However, international travel and premium segments are showing more resilience. Delta reported that premium revenue from first-class and premium economy seats on international long-haul flights is growing faster than main cabin revenue. This trend is expected to continue, with premium revenue projected to further outpace main cabin revenue in the upcoming quarter. Meanwhile, airlines are cutting back on some Canada-U.S. flights as demand for U.S.-bound travel decreases, potentially exacerbating the $50 billion U.S. international travel deficit.

Mar 24 BREAKING: Foreign tourism into the U.S. is suddenly tanking—reversing earlier gains and now projected to drop, according to Fortune.Turns out when you shut down trust, gut diplomacy, and treat allies like threats, people stop showing up.You can’t run a global economy on

Apr 8 In case tanking the economy wasn’t enough, Trump’s tariffs and border chaos are gutting U.S. tourism. International travel to the U.S. is down 10% — tourists don’t want to pay more or risk getting detained.Tourist destinations are in for a bad summer.https://s2.washingtonpost.com/camp-rw/?trackId=596b02b6ade4e24119ac1a18&s=67f3e619e630c35b0fb07f51&utm_campaign=wp_follow_philip_bump&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl-philipbump&linknum=1&linktot=30…

Apr 8 Look at these numbers!Like many tourism professionals, my business is down this year so far, versus same period in 2024 or 2023.A lot of people are gonna go out of business. Especially in areas that rely on international tourists.And that’s gonna ripple downstream.
