United States: Sharp Drop in Travel Bookings for April 2025

According to a monthly travel sales barometer, bookings to the United States dropped by 32% in April 2025 compared to the previous year, pushing the country down to 18th place among the most popular destinations, from 11th place the year before.

This decline is part of an overall drop in travel sales, with a 7.6% decrease across all destinations.

Despite airfare promotions and a favorable exchange rate for French travelers, the U.S. is struggling to attract visitors, possibly due to political considerations.

Meanwhile, destinations like Italy (+12%) and Tunisia (+3.7%) saw an increase in bookings.
