Travellers Appear to be Shunning the USA

1st June 2025

The travel search site Trivago says it has seen a significant downturn in demand for US trips including ski trips over the winter.

Travellers are skipping travel to America for political as well as economic reasons, says Trivago’s CEO, Johannes Thomas.

The company cities double-digit declines in bookings to the US from neighbours Mexico and Canada as well as Japan.

All these have been impacted by ongoing trade disputes.

Trivago also says UK travellers are foregoing trips across the pond for UK staycations due to financial concerns.

The National Travel and Tourism Office said visits to the US from overseas were down nearly 12% in March.
