Despite more people taking international trips globally, the United States is losing ground as a top destination, according to new data.
Last year was one of the best years for the travel and tourism sector, with a 4.1% increase in gross domestic product growth, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council's (WTTC) latest economic impact research, sponsored by Chase Travel.
There were 80 million more international travelers in 2025 than in 2024. But many of them are skipping the United States for other locales.
Recent data by the NTTO also showed a 20% decline in Canadian travelers, or 4.2 million fewer visitors, once a major market for the United States.
Previous USA TODAY reporting found several reasons why international travelers are skipping the United
States. Among them are fears of border detainment and gun violence.
The drop in international visitors could spell trouble for the U.S. economy, as travel is one of the country's largest export services.
