The latest forecast shows that international inbound and domestic business travel are still far from a full recovery. Although international travel to the U.S. is increasing, it remains below pre-pandemic levels. Business travel is expected to grow in 2024 but at a slower pace.

Decades of underinvestment and a lack of federal focus caused the U.S. to fall behind, while other countries implement robust strategies to increase international visitation and grow economic output.
