The US is continuing to lose share of international travel, despite rising visitor numbers and efforts to convince the Trump administration of the sector’s importance to the country’s economy.
Speaking at the annual IPW travel convention in Anaheim, California, US Travel Association president and chief executive Roger Dow said the latest arrival figures from the US Department of Commerce showed global visitor numbers to the US grew by 3.5% in 2018, reaching almost 80 million compared with nearly 77 million in 2017.
