But despite some ominous signs, a close look at the data shows that travel to the United States is largely holding up — at least so far.
Nearly as many foreign travelers have arrived at American airports this year than during the same period last year, according to an analysis by The New York Times of entry data collected from every international airport in the country.
International arrivals did drop more than 10 percent in March compared with last year, but this was largely because Easter fell unusually late this year, pushing back a popular travel window for European tourists. More recent figures from April show that travel over the holiday looked similar to previous years.
Here is more from the NYT. The main major difference is for Canadians, who are indeed more skittish, and their ticket sales are down 21 percent.
