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.

    I’ve heard of places in Vegas offering to take Canadians’ dollars at par.

    Still doesn’t change that Vegas is unaffordable, even in US$.

      To each their own. It’s not my idea of fun but it’s a fairly common bachelor party, crazy weekend etc.

      It’s a party vacation and a fairly common destination, not just for the uber wealthy. Plenty of middle class folks head there.
