International arrivals to the US have decreased significantly, particularly from Western Europe, Central America, and the Caribbean, with an overall decline of 3.3% in 2025 compared to 2024. March saw an 11.6% drop in visitors, with notable declines from the UK, Germany, and Spain. Factors contributing to this trend include stricter immigration controls and political tensions under the Trump administration, leading to a perceived unwelcoming environment for tourists. Experts warn that the downturn may worsen if political uncertainty continues.
