Millions of international travelers are increasingly choosing to avoid the United States.

The United States had roughly 4 million fewer international visitors in 2025 than the year before, marking a 5.5 percent decline in overseas tourism, according to CNN. Foreign visitor spending also fell by more than $8 billion.

Aside from the collapse in travel during the COVID-19 pandemic, it represents the sharpest annual drop in international tourism in roughly 20 years.

Don't underestimate how much the general population just does not give a fuck about anything but themselves. They wanted that Vegas trip and are either blissfully unaware of current events or they're aware and just don't care, maybe a part of them even agrees with it all..

    Some people definitely agree with the xenophobia. That sort of anti immigrant ideology is on the rise outside of the US too. They might not like Trump but also not quite fully disagree with what the MAGA people stand for.

    I mean ffs people are now finally getting sick of Trump, but not because the damage they've done with deportation but because they're spending money on war and food and gas prices went up as a direct result. Some of the people that are anti Trump these days just care about their bottom line.

    vegas has thier own problems that occurred way before trump returned to the WH. VEGAS is just circling the drain to the abyss. its interesting how conservatives from LA area moved there thinking just because of no income tax, means they keep more money. but arnt aware the state doesnt really have much of a good health, or education system.
