Marcelina Gomez, a waitress in Anaheim, observes a noticeable decrease in summer tourism compared to previous years. Vacancy rates at her restaurant have increased, which she attributes to fears stemming from immigration raids. The overall tourist drop is reflected in lower international visitor numbers across the U.S. due to Donald Trump's policies. Key cities, particularly Las Vegas, have reported significant declines in tourism, prompting cuts to hotel industry forecasts. Uncertainty and inflation are causing cautious spending, further impacting tourism growth, which has declined by 0.6% annually.
