  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.

Foreign travel spending in the U.S. has declined by 7% in the first half of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, according to the National Travel and Tourism Office. This drop is attributed to a strong U.S. dollar, which makes travel more expensive for international visitors, and a slow recovery in travel from key markets like China and Japan. Despite the decline, spending by Canadian and Mexican visitors has increased, though not enough to offset the overall decrease. The U.S. Travel Association noted that the decline in international visitor spending is a concern for the tourism industry, which is still recovering from the impacts of the global health crisis.
