Foreign travel spending in US to decline 7% in 2025, report says

NEW YORK (Reuters) -International travel spending in the United States is expected to decline about 7%, or $12.5 billion, in 2025 as politics and a strong dollar prompt foreign visitors to opt for other destinations, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council. International travelers are shunning U.S. vacations due to unpopular policies from the administration of President Donald Trump, fear of being stopped at the border and an unfavorable exchange rate, said Julia Simpson, CEO of the WTTC, an organization representing the industry's private sector. "Of 184 countries, the U.S. is the only one that's seeing an absolute decline in international visitor spending," Simpson said.

The tariff strategy is backfiring and small businesses are the collateral damage

Tariffs are a quiet tax that hurts small businesses already facing rising costs, broken supply chains, and labor pressure.
The article from Fortune discusses how the Trump administration's tariff strategy, intended to protect American industries, has inadvertently harmed small businesses across the United States. Small business owners, such as those in manufacturing and retail, are facing increased costs for imported goods and materials, which they are often unable to pass on to consumers due to competitive pricing pressures. This has led to reduced profit margins, difficulties in planning, and in some cases, the need to lay off workers or even close down operations. The article highlights specific examples, like a furniture maker in North Carolina struggling with higher costs for imported wood, and a small appliance retailer in Ohio dealing with pricier components. The overall sentiment among these small business owners is one of frustration and a feeling of being overlooked in the broader trade war narrative, with many calling for a more targeted approach to tariffs that considers the impact on small enterprises.
