Spanish tourism to the US grew in first four months of 2025
Briefly

Donald Trump's nationalist rhetoric and immigration policies have instigated concerns in the tourism sector, potentially leading to reduced international visitors to the U.S. Early 2024 indicators show a 0.2% decline in overall arrivals, with a notable 1.1% decrease in tourist numbers. While some figures show growth, such as a temporary surge in Spanish tourism, many Canadian visitors have significantly decreased, correlating with Trump's unfriendly stance towards Canada. This is adding to fears of a broader decline in tourism industry performance.
During the first four months of the year, overall visitor numbers to the U.S. show a slight decline, raising concerns about tourism's future under Trump's policies.
The decline in tourism is highlighted by a 32.5% drop in Spanish tourist visits in March, contrasting with a 47.7% surge in April, indicating fluctuating trends.
