Not even the World Cup saved the American travel industry, as China takes over top spot

The US is attracting millions fewer international travelers, compared to forecasts from just two years ago.

Foreign travel to the United States plunged in 2025, to levels last seen in 2012.

The hospitality industry expected a boom in 2026, with 11 cities hosting World Cup events, and huge per-person tourist spend.

But most host cities in the United States continue to show declines from even last-year’s dismal numbers.

China has probably already surpassed the US as the number one global tourist destination, with leisure and business travel up sharply, along with spending.
