The U.S. Travel Insights Dashboard

In March, spending on travel in the U.S. ticked up by 0.8% as resilient domestic travel and hotel demand offset a 12% decline in visits from overseas. Domestic air travel in March was virtually flat compared with the prior year. After a record setting 332 million visits in 2024, National Park visits continued a trend of declines that began in the latter part of last year and continued throughout Q1 2025. 

Economic indicators and sentiment measures are telling a mixed story. Broader economic measures for March including employment and inflation remained positive, but consumer confidence levels have fallen every month in 2025. Despite that, consumer excitement for travel remained strong with record levels reporting they have trips planned in the next 6 months.

Data Notes: March air travel data from NTTO does not yet include visits from Canada and Mexico. Year over year comparisons may also be affected by the comparable period in 2024 including the easter holiday, which fell in April in 2025.
