""The downturn in travel following Trump's inauguration exceeded even the global tourism industry's worst-case predictions, indicating a significant shift in Australians' travel behavior towards the US.""
""A string of incidents with US border protocols since January has left some reconsidering their destination, including a reported case of an Australian man who was detained and deported.""
Recent data indicates a significant decline in Australian tourists traveling to the US since Donald Trump's second inauguration, with a 7% drop noted in March 2025 compared to the previous year. This marks the largest decline since 2021, attributed to factors such as high costs due to a weak Australian dollar and a series of concerning incidents at US borders. These incidents have raised fears among travelers, particularly among academics and the gender-diverse community, prompting them to reconsider attending events in the US.
