Overseas visitors to the US are on track to drop by almost two million year-on-year
Graph in article: Number of visitors declined by over 10 million from Canada alone (from 20 million) since the start of Trump’s second term. Other countries have similar trends, but with smaller initial numbers.
I’m not sure if I understand how they define year-on-year.
In tourism, Mexico and Canada are not considered “overseas” but “cross-border”. It’s much bigger news because overseas visitors are high spenders and stay for longer than cross-border visitors.
That’s what I thought too, but then the graph would look different, with a plateau or even an increase for the last bit. But currently it goes down in a pretty straight line
