The USA is losing millions of tourists in 2025: reasons for the sharp decline

According to a report from China's Central Television, tourism in the United States is facing a significant decline in the number of foreign tourists in 2025. This negative trend began in February 2025 and is a result of political decisions made during Donald Trump's presidency.

The notable decrease in tourist flow is caused by a substantial rise in travel costs, political instability, and the escalation of geopolitical conflicts. This trend has affected nearly all regions of the world, including Europe, Canada, Asia, and Africa. According to the U.S. National Tourism Administration, the number of foreign visitors decreased by 1.6% during the first seven months of 2025 compared to the overall volume of tourist flow.

Especially significant declines are observed among European tourists: from Denmark - by 19%, from Germany - by 10%, from France - by 6.6%.

Experts believe that the main reasons for the tourism crisis are the tightening of visa policies, the introduction of new tariffs on imported goods, and general political uncertainty. It is forecasted that in 2025, the USA will become the only country in the world where foreign tourists' spending will decline, with the flow of travelers to the country decreasing by 8.2%.

In 2025, tourism in the USA faces a significant decline in the number of foreign tourists. The reasons are rising travel costs, political instability, and the escalation of geopolitical conflicts. This may significantly impact the economy and the development of the country's tourism sector.
