The US tourism industry has been experiencing a decline since President Donald Trump took office, with the number of international tourists dropping by 4 in the first seven months of 2017. This decline presents a headwind to the US economy and the Trump administration’s goals to narrow the US trade balance. Inbound tourism is counted as an export, and new data from the Commerce Department shows the slump. Some in the tourism industry blame President Trump for this decline, pointing to travel bans and increased security protocols.
The latest data shows a 3.3% drop in travel spending and a 4.1% decline in inbound travel. The number of international visitors fell by 4 in the first seven months of 2017, according to the US National Travel and Tourism Office. The decline in foreign tourism has set the decline in foreign tourism at 6.8. America’s share of international tourism has dropped 16 in March, compared to the same month in 2016, according to Foursquare data released.
Inbound tourism is counted as an export, and the US tourism business is in trouble, with President Trump possibly being to blame. The latest data shows a 3.3% drop in travel spending and a 4.1% decline in inbound travel.
