A general view of the Times Square area in New York City on December 27, 2024. In just a few weeks, the US tourism outlook has clouded as a result of some of President Donald Trump’s policy decisions, which have angered some foreign visitors and prompted fear of a surge in prices and a stronger dollar. Foreign traveller arrivals in the United States are expected to decline by 5.1 per cent in 2025 compared to last year, against a previously projected increase of 8.8 per cent, Tourism Economics said in a report published late last month. Their spending is expected to slide 10.9 per cent. — AFP pic
