The US has seen a sharp decline in tourist numbers, attributed to tighter immigration restrictions and geopolitical tensions under President Donald Trump. China is on track to become the world's top tourism economy in the next few years, with its travel and tourism economy growing 9.9% last year. The 2026 FIFA World Cup, set to kick off in June, may provide an opportunity for a spike in US tourism, but Trump's foreign policy may undermine expectations. A new visa integrity fee and plans for social media screening of visitors make travel to the US less attractive. Canadian travel to the US fell by 30% in 2025, and travel from Australia, India, and Western Europe also declined. The tourism industry will have to wait and see if a recovery is possible in 2026.
