President Donald Trump’s trade policies and hostile rhetoric towards other countries are leading to a decrease in international travel to the United States. Wall Street firms project a potential loss of $90 billion in revenue this year due to reduced travel and product boycotts. Canada has seen a significant drop in tourism following direct and indirect attacks by Trump. Additionally, visitors from Western Europe, including the UK and Germany, have declined by as much as 29% in March. The negative sentiment towards the U.S. is likely to have economic repercussions, with analysts estimating a drag on GDP growth. Despite relief measures on tariffs, sentiment against the U.S. is worsening, leading to concerns about long-term economic impacts. Analysts suggest that even if Trump softens his stance, it will take time for relationships to improve. Some U.S. tourism hotspots, such as Miami and Niagara Falls, have not yet seen major evidence of a slowdown. However, there may be impacts in the coming weeks and months. Representatives from these areas are cautiously optimistic, but recognize the potential for reduced spending affecting local economies. Overall, the future of international tourism to the U.S. remains uncertain, with the potential for continued decline in the face of geopolitical tensions.
