U.S. international travel saw a significant drop in the first half of 2025, primarily due to a nearly 19% decrease in Canadian visitors, resulting in a $1.9 billion loss in spending. June experienced the sharpest decline, with Canadian visits down over 26%. However, this was partially offset by a 12.5% increase in Mexican tourism, generating nearly $500 million. The U.S. Travel Association attributes the decline to broader economic concerns. Major travel companies and casinos in Las Vegas are expected to report the impact next week.
