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.

I’m pretty sure anyone who visits to see family or similar is considered tourist, because they’d have a tourism visa. So the real percentage of I guess discretionary tourism is probably down much more than 5.5%.
