United States US: International Tourism: Number of Arrivals data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s United States – Table US.World Bank.WDI: Tourism Statistics. International inbound tourists (overnight visitors) are the number of tourists who travel to a country other than that in which they have their usual residence, but outside their usual environment, for a period not exceeding 12 months and whose main purpose in visiting is other than an activity remunerated from within the country visited. When data on number of tourists are not available, the number of visitors, which includes tourists, same-day visitors, cruise passengers, and crew members, is shown instead. Sources and collection methods for arrivals differ across countries. In some cases data are from border statistics (police, immigration, and the like) and supplemented by border surveys. In other cases data are from tourism accommodation establishments. For some countries number of arrivals is limited to arrivals by air and for others to arrivals staying in hotels. Some countries include arrivals of nationals residing abroad while others do not. Caution should thus be used in comparing arrivals across countries. The data on inbound tourists refer to the number of arrivals, not to the number of people traveling. Thus a person who makes several trips to a country during a given period is counted each time as a new arrival.; ; World Tourism Organization, Yearbook of Tourism Statistics, Compendium of Tourism Statistics and data files.; Gap-filled total;

Over the past five years, travel agencies have faced numerous challenges and undergone significant transformations. Although international travel by US residents rebounded strongly in 2022, persistent inflationary pressures have moderated revenue growth. In 2025, the industry is expected to experience slower demand from both domestic and foreign tourists due to trade uncertainty. Overall, due to a low pandemic base year, revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.3% to $46.4 billion over the five years to 2025, including a projected 4.2% growth in 2025 alone. Profitability has remained a critical challenge, with competitive online travel platforms like Expedia and Priceline transforming the landscape. The rise of mobile technology has enabled consumers to independently research and book cost-effective travel options, posing a challenge to traditional brick-and-mortar agencies. In response, many agencies have shifted focus to cater to high-income, time-constrained customers desiring personalized services. Smaller agencies have seized this customization demand, while larger platforms have engaged in acquisitions to expand market share and diversify service offerings. Despite these strategies, maintaining profitability has proven difficult in an industry shaped by evolving technology and consumer preferences. In 2025, profit is expected to reach an estimated 10.2% of revenue. Looking ahead to the next five years up to 2030, customization is poised to remain a crucial differentiator. As disposable incomes rise, travel bookings are expected to increase, with consumers gravitating towards higher-margin, personalized services. Nonetheless, the pervasive influence of social media grants travelers greater access to destination insights, potentially reducing their dependency on travel agents. Peer-to-peer rental services are anticipated to flourish by providing affordable alternatives, while online booking platforms will likely retain their dominance due to their convenience. Further, a series of international sports events during the outlook period will spur demand for travel agencies, supporting revenue growth. Consequently, industry revenue is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 1.3%, reaching $49.5 billion over the five years to 2030, indicating a steady, albeit modest, expansion in a swiftly evolving market landscape.
