Posted 13 September 2017:

According to a USTA spokesman, new data inputs recently added to their Travel Trends Index calculation show that international visits to the USA actually declined yoy in February (-6.8%) and March (-8.2%), vice simply growing less fast. An uptick in April and May - attributed to Easter - was followed by further shrinkage in June and July.

USTA President/CEO Roger Dow says the Trump administration needs to continue support of Brand USA's destination marketing, and protect the Open Skies agreement and Visa Waiver Program.

We, along with everyone else in US tourism, continue to watch these numbers closely.
