Millions of international travelers are increasingly choosing to avoid the United States.

The United States had roughly 4 million fewer international visitors in 2025 than the year before, marking a 5.5 percent decline in overseas tourism, according to CNN. Foreign visitor spending also fell by more than $8 billion.

Aside from the collapse in travel during the COVID-19 pandemic, it represents the sharpest annual drop in international tourism in roughly 20 years.

    not a boycott.

    if McDonald’s has a new CEO, and his first move is to replace the meat with literal human shit, he can’t call it a boycott…

    Truth is it ia dangerous for anyone to visit the US, that isn’t a boycott, it’s self preservation

      Yeah, I agree that boycott is really not the right way to describe what’s happening here

      Theyre not doing it in coordinated protest, they just dont wanna fuckin come here 😅. Can’t imagine why, its like a historical reenactment, you can step back in time to when everything was worse! What a cool vacation /s
