Following a resurgence in tourism in 2024 with nearly 65 million visitors, New York City's prospects for recovery in 2025 have sharply declined due to President Trump's controversial actions. NYC Tourism + Conventions has revised visitor estimates downwards by 3.5 million, amid a significant drop in foreign tourism, notably from Canada, historically its largest market. The economic repercussions are notable, with an anticipated $4 billion drop in tourist spending. Operators notice decreased attendance and interest from international tourists due to concerns over border policies and detentions, casting uncertainty over the city's tourism future.
Foreign visitors account for half of all tourists' spending in NYC, and they typically stay longer and drop more cash.
The sharpest drop unsurprisingly comes from Canada, America's most loyal neighbor and historically its top source of international tourists.
