Europeans are planning 10% fewer trips to the US as the busy summer season approaches, in the latest sign that some international travelers are avoiding America as backlash grows against President Donald Trump’s policies.
The drop in flight bookings from Canada to the US in the May-July period is even more pronounced, at 33%, Tourism Economics said in a forecast released Friday. The group expects an 8.7% decline in US international arrivals for all of 2025.
