The U.S. Travel Insights Dashboard

U.S. travel spending edged back into positive territory in July, up 0.2%. Record domestic air passenger volumes and steady U.S. consumer demand helped offset continued softness in international inbound travel, where overseas visits fell 3.1% from last year. Hotel demand remained slightly below 2024 levels, but short-term rentals rose 2.6%. National Park visitation also showed signs of stabilization—down just 1.5% in July compared with a more than 10% decline in the first half of the year.

The broader picture underscores a mixed environment: Americans continue to prioritize travel, but broader economic concerns persist. Travel prices, as measured by the TPI, remain below last year, and a large share of consumers still have trips planned. Yet, overall consumer sentiment has yet to rebound. Leisure and hospitality job growth continued to grow, though at a lower pace, while overall consume spending also moderated.
