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.
Why would I want to visit a third world country rife with civil unrest and government sponsored domestic terrorism?
not a boycott.
if McDonald’s has a new CEO, and his first move is to replace the meat with literal human shit, he can’t call it a boycott…
Truth is it ia dangerous for anyone to visit the US, that isn’t a boycott, it’s self preservation
Yeah, I agree that boycott is really not the right way to describe what’s happening here
Theyre not doing it in coordinated protest, they just dont wanna fuckin come here 😅. Can’t imagine why, its like a historical reenactment, you can step back in time to when everything was worse! What a cool vacation /s
I am boycotting. I stopped going to the states in 2016, the first time they elected shit-for-brains. It’s not about safety.
Thats very fair. I don’t know if its accurate to call the response at scale a boycott. I’m sure lots of people are boycotting though
they called it a boycott to shift the blame.
If I see a creek full of shit I’m not swimming in it, that’s not a boycott.
It’s both honestly, 2 things can be true
I would strongly advise you, do NOT travel here. If you must, stick to major cities. If you aren’t white and fluent in the American dialect of English, you may be in danger of an ICE raid even then.
Above all, stay out of the interior. It’s a different world, and you might find yourself at the mercy of some local warlord (spelled “constitutional sheriff”).
As they should. Don’t be stupid, do not come to a fascist country. You have zero protections here and everything is way too fucking expensive. Is that worth jail time? Because there’s a chance the racist POS goonsquad will kidnap you.
Why would I risk getting arrested and held for months for no reason, maybe even deported to a concentration camp in El Salvador, while going on holiday? I could think of other less awful destinations.
pretty sure everyone is safer visiting el Salvador on their own terms then being sent by us
Yep, considering it is one of the safest countries for tourists…
Unless I get arrested for gang related activities, as I am Dutch and might get suspected of drug deals or whatever. Often I’m picked out for extensive checks when entering a country as soon as they see my Dutch license plate or passport. We are the biggest importer of cocain in europe and we are the biggest producer of MDMA and XTC in the world. Many times I’ve been treated as a criminal until they found out I was not. El Salvador isn’t known for the “finding out” part, they just throw you in prison without trial indefinitely. Estimates are that 1 in 5 currently incarcerated there are innocent.
Cutout the middle man and just head to el salvador
I’m not sure it’s exactly a boycott so much as “yeah I don’t want to be sent to a concentration camp”
Yeah who wants to end up in a concentration camp?
And how the fuck is it only a 5.5% decline? Why are 94.5% of travelers still risking their lives?
I’m pretty sure anyone who visits to see family or similar is considered tourist, because they’d have a tourism visa. So the real percentage of I guess discretionary tourism is probably down much more than 5.5%.
I think the earlier person had it right (discretionary vs non discretionary travel) but it’s also worth noting that for most other countries, tourism is booming this year. So if everyone else rose say even 10% US tourism declined relative to everyone else at 15 or so.
Only 5.5% 🤷 So many people are just mindless apes that’s so sad.
Ah, the trumpslump.
So. much. winning.
I live in an area with a huge number of Canadian snowbirds in a normal year. This year there are almost none.
Oh man, even the birds know it’s turned into a shit hole country. Part of this might be climate change related.
“Trump is going to get people to respect America again.” Average FL Trump cultist.
It’s not just tourists. International conferences held in the US are seeing record low attendance.
I’m boycotting vacations in the United States and I’m an American. I just got back from a 4-day weekend in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Other countries deserve our vacation dollars more than ours does. Until it stops being led by children making stupid fucking decisions.
As a joke I asked a cashier at the NSLC where the bourbon was. She laughed. She knew I was fucking with her. For those not in the know, Canada boxed up all their bourbon and sent it back in retaliation to all of Trump’s bullshit with tariffs and what not.

They’re making some outta Vernon; but we have a thing about cross-region trade, so you’d have to grab some in Kelowna from the BCLDB.
The 10% full world cup stadiums will be hilarious
Please please have both Iran and USA win their groups so they can play and the US loose. I want to see the Trumpty Melty.
almost like they regard it as a shithole country as Rump liked to say about others
