Will international tourism in the U.S. recover with the 2026 World Cup?

2026 World Cup travel could revive U.S. tourism after declining international visits, rising visa costs, and global tensions

With less than a month remaining until the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup—held from June 11 to July 19 across the United States, Mexico, and Canada—the U.S. travel sector anticipates a rebound in international travel to the country, which had been in decline since the beginning of 2025.

A recent analysis by the U.S. Travel Association (USTA) reveals that spending on inbound international travel to the United States decreased by 2.4% in 2025, falling to $175 billion.

One contributing factor was a reduction in visits from Canada, which dropped 21% in volume amid a backdrop of tensions between the United States and Ottawa—particularly regarding trade tariff policies and the notion of annexing Canada as the 51st state.

However, travel from Western Europe and Asia—traditional strongholds of U.S. tourism—also saw a decline.

Western Europe (including Germany, France, and the Netherlands) and Asia (including China, South Korea, and India) recorded consecutive months of decline, particularly during the peak summer season of 2025.

“The pace of recovery for inbound international travel remains sensitive to current policies, global sentiment, and geopolitical stability,” the USTA acknowledged.

Other factors impacting visits from abroad included the expansion of immigration bans.

In June 2025, an entry ban was implemented for travelers from 12 countries—a list that was subsequently expanded to include 39 nations.

Additionally, a new $250 “visa integrity fee” was introduced, raising the base cost of a tourist visa to $435.

The Association projects that—partly thanks to the 2026 FIFA World Cup—inbound visits will grow by 3.4% in 2026, reaching a total of 70.6 million, driven primarily by leisure travel. According to the same firm, international tourism spending in the United States is expected to recover by 1.6%, reaching $178 billion in 2026.

However, that figure remains 18% below 2019 levels (adjusted for inflation).

Growth is projected to accelerate in 2027 and beyond, though a return to 2019 levels (79 million visits) is not expected until 2029.

Undoubtedly, the lifeline for the U.S. tourism sector has been domestic leisure travel.

Following 2.1% growth in 2025, domestic leisure travel spending continues to expand, rising 0.9% to reach $909 billion in 2026, with even faster growth anticipated in 2027 and subsequent years.

Growth in 2026 is expected to be dampened by rising inflation in travel costs as well as other goods and services.

Americans continue to prioritize travel, but spending is being driven by higher-income households.

Travelers are expected to opt for shorter, more budget-friendly trips—including regional and high-demand destinations—in response to rising prices.

¿Se recuperará el turismo internacional en Estados Unidos con el Mundial de 2026?

A menos de un mes del inicio de la Copa Mundial de la FIFA 2026 —que se celebrará del 11 de junio al 19 de julio en Estados Unidos, México y Canadá— el sector turístico estadounidense espera una recuperación en los viajes internacionales hacia el país, luego de una caída registrada desde principios de 2025.

Un análisis reciente de la U.S. Travel Association (USTA) reveló que el gasto en turismo internacional hacia Estados Unidos disminuyó 2.4% en 2025, cayendo a 175 mil millones de dólares.

Uno de los factores fue la reducción en visitantes provenientes de Canadá, que bajó 21% en volumen en medio de tensiones entre Estados Unidos y Ottawa, particularmente por temas relacionados con políticas de aranceles comerciales y comentarios sobre una posible anexión de Canadá como el estado número 51.

Sin embargo, los viajes desde Europa Occidental y Asia —mercados históricamente fuertes para el turismo estadounidense— también registraron caídas.

Europa Occidental (incluyendo Alemania, Francia y Países Bajos) y Asia (incluyendo China, Corea del Sur e India) acumularon varios meses consecutivos de descenso, especialmente durante la temporada alta del verano de 2025.

“El ritmo de recuperación del turismo internacional hacia Estados Unidos sigue siendo sensible a las políticas actuales, al sentimiento global y a la estabilidad geopolítica”, reconoció la USTA.

Otros factores que impactaron las visitas internacionales incluyeron la expansión de restricciones migratorias.

En junio de 2025, se implementó una prohibición de entrada para viajeros de 12 países, lista que posteriormente se amplió hasta incluir 39 naciones.

Además, se creó una nueva tarifa de “integridad de visa” de 250 dólares, elevando el costo base de una visa de turista hasta 435 dólares.

La Asociación proyecta que —en parte gracias al Mundial de 2026— las visitas internacionales crecerán 3.4% durante 2026, alcanzando un total de 70.6 millones de visitantes, impulsadas principalmente por viajes de placer. Según la misma organización, el gasto del turismo internacional en Estados Unidos podría recuperarse 1.6%, llegando a 178 mil millones de dólares en 2026.

Aun así, esa cifra sigue estando 18% por debajo de los niveles de 2019, ajustados por inflación.

Se espera que el crecimiento se acelere en 2027 y años posteriores, aunque el regreso a los niveles de 2019 —cuando se registraron 79 millones de visitas— no se proyecta hasta 2029.

Sin duda, el principal soporte para el sector turístico estadounidense ha sido el turismo doméstico de placer.

Después de crecer 2.1% en 2025, el gasto en viajes recreativos dentro del país continúa aumentando, con un alza proyectada de 0.9% para alcanzar 909 mil millones de dólares en 2026. También se espera un crecimiento todavía mayor en 2027 y en los años siguientes.

El crecimiento en 2026 podría verse limitado por el aumento en la inflación de costos de viaje, además del incremento de precios en otros bienes y servicios.

Los estadounidenses siguen priorizando viajar, aunque el gasto está siendo impulsado principalmente por hogares con mayores ingresos.

Se espera que muchos viajeros opten por vacaciones más cortas y económicas, incluyendo destinos regionales y lugares de alta demanda, como respuesta al aumento en los precios.
