European arrivals to the U.S. in the first three quarters of 2025 totaled approximately 11.8 million, representing a 3.1% decline compared to the same period in 2024. This data, sourced from the U.S. Department of Commerceโ€™s I-92 air travel statistics, reflects year-to-date trends but does not yet include full-year 2025 figures, which are typically published with a 3โ€“6 month delay after the calendar year ends.

Oh.. I thought it had dropped a lot more!

Let's make it drop more! ๐Ÿ’ช

It probably has by now. These are 3 months out of date, and mostly over a period when things were only bonkers, not psychotic.

Come on Europe, those are rookie numbers

Every now and then I get reminders like this that most people donโ€™t pay that much attention to the news

I'm seeing so many Europeans I follow brainlessly go to the US and get yelled at by their followers.

Now separate the numbers between work travel (compulsory) and leisure. I'd not be surprised to see the latter fall off a cliff.

I've been to the US 10-15 times. Lovely people, at least in the areas I went, and beautiful land. All for work.

But now I'd not cross the border (ie. submit to the Taking Shoes Agency, or worse) if you paid me. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

My colleague used to regularly visit for work and conferences but he can no longer go because he's always (and I mean always) sent back at the border. He's originally from Afghanistan but has a British passport.

Not enough, go lower!

That's embarrasingly low. Could the US source be fudged?

It's the first 3 quarter of 2025. 1st quarter I expect there'd have been no appreciable drop (Gulf of America time). 2nd quarter a bit but still probably not much (Tariffs). Things went progressively worse over the year and I expect it will have been the deportations and ICE that will have stopped people.
