TORONTO — New data underscores the decline in international visitation to the U.S., not just from Canada but from overseas as well.

Bookings from Europe to the U.S. have fallen 14.22% year over year, according to aviation-data provider Cirium, based on a comparison of forward air bookings for travel in July 2026 vs. July 2025.

Travelweek checked in with Cirium for Canadian data, and heard that for March Break 2026, forward air bookings from Canada to the U.S. were down 15%.

Meanwhile total international travel to the U.S. was down 5.4% through November 2025, according to the U.S. Commerce Department’s National Travel and Tourism Office (NTTO), while the WTTC says foreign visitation to the U.S. will drop 6% for the year, according to Reuters coverage carried in CTV News and others.

Headlined ‘Canadians looking for Disney magic elsewhere amid Trump threats, immigration enforcement’, the article quotes Canadian travel agency owner Christine Fiorelli, with Fairytale Dreams & Destinations, who estimates that 30% of her Disney clients have shifted their Disney trips away from the U.S. to international destinations like Disneyland Paris.

Last week The Walt Disney Company cited “headwinds” with international visitation at its theme parks, as CFO Hugh Johnston noted the company is focusing more of its marketing efforts on domestic travellers.

Speaking of parks, it’s not just U.S. theme parks seeing a decline in international visitation. The CTV article notes that Intrepid pegs the decrease in international bookings for its hundreds of U.S. national park itineraries at 42% for 2026.
