  • Official data show November marked the seventh straight year-over-year drop in international visits to the United States, with volumes still below pre-pandemic levels.
  • A U.S. International Trade Administration report finds combined air arrivals from Mexico and Canada fell 7.4% from January through October 2025.
  • Mexican travel to the United States rose 9.8% in January–September, even as separate ITA figures show Mexican air arrivals declined 3.3% in January–October.
  • A Joint Economic Committee analysis using CBP data reports passenger-vehicle crossings from Canada into the United States fell nearly 20% in the first ten months of 2025, straining northern border economies.
  • Mexico’s tourism ministry estimates about 4.96 million hotel-room arrivals for the Dec. 20–Jan. 11 holiday period, as industry sources note growing demand for nature and authentic experiences among younger travelers.
