New research released by the U.S. Travel Association reveals the 2026 FIFA World Cup's extraordinary potential to deliver major economic gains for communities across the country, but warns that safety concerns, policy perceptions and entry barriers could limit America's ability to fully capitalize on the opportunity.

The numbers are striking. International World Cup visitors expect to spend more than $5,000 per person; 1.7 times more than typical international trips to the U.S. One in three intend to stay longer than two weeks. And more than 80% are open to visiting destinations beyond the largest gateway cities, unlocking economic opportunity in communities across the country.
