Originally, the U.S. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">tourism industry anticipated growth<\/a> in international visitors for 2024 but has since adjusted forecasts, predicting a 9.4% drop rather. Factors contributing to this decline include dissatisfaction with President Trump&#8217;s tariffs and concerns over treatment of tourists at the border. Notably, air travel from Mexico has dropped by 23%, and there has been a significant decrease in visitors from Canada and Europe, with 17% fewer Western Europeans traveling to the U.S. compared to last year. This decline is exacerbated by travel advisories from the UK and Germany regarding potential detentions of travelers.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Foreign travelers visiting the US fell 12% since last March<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2092012\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>International <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/travel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">travel<\/a> to the United States fell 12% in March compared to rates from March 2024, according to the National Travel and Tourism Office.<\/p>\n<p>From January to March, 7.1 million visitors entered the U.S. from abroad, a 3.3% decline from the first three months of 2024.
