United States

The United States recorded ~80 million arrivals, holding steady at #3 despite Spain's surge. NYC, LA, Miami, and Las Vegas are key drivers, with national parks adding 15 million visits annually. However, the US commands the highest tourism revenue globally at over $250 billion, nearly triple that of France—visitors spend 3.2 times more per trip here than the average top-10 destination. Canada and Mexico account for 35% of arrivals, highlighting regional reliance. This revenue leadership underscores a unique economic advantage, per UNWTO.
