‘The real challenge is the inconsistency’: Trump’s chaotic messaging tanks international tourism to America

Business travel to the United States from Europe dropped sharply in April 2025, showing a major decline linked to the perceived instability and unpredictability of the Trump administration. Bookings fell by 26 percent compared to April 2024.

This is according to data from HotelHub, a business travel platform, that was shared with Politico. This large decrease reflects a wider trend of declining positive opinions about America under the current administration. The overall drop in international business travel hotel bookings to the U.S. reached 19.3 percent in April, while total U.S. bookings, including domestic travel, fell by 15.6 percent.
