Australia: US Visitor Numbers Drop Amid Border Security Concerns

  • Summary

  • Visitor numbers to the United States have significantly decreased, particularly from Australia, marking the sharpest drop since the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. This decline is attributed to several factors, including increased border security measures under the Trump administration leading to detentions and deportations, alongside rising anxiety among potential travellers. Concerns about unpredictable entry procedures and the searching of electronic devices have been reported. Furthermore, unfavourable exchange rates and strained international relations are also contributing to this downturn in tourism, prompting travel warnings from several countries and discussions of boycotts.
