Apparently there’s been a decline in tourism to America from the UK, with what Travel and Tour World sums up as “a combination of controversial policies, global conflicts, and anti-tourism sentiments driving a notable decline in interest.” A recent survey by Holiday Extras finds that 17 percent of British travellers have pledged to avoid the United States in 2025 due to President Trump’s return to the White House.

“This marks the first time an overseas election has significantly influenced travel preferences among Brits, comparable to the impact of global conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine,” notes the head of public affairs at Holiday Extras, Seamus McCauley. “Since 2023, issues like climate events and global unrest have shaped travel trends, but this is the first election-driven disruption we’ve seen at this scale.”
