Tourist arrivals to the United States are rising gingerly but are still decimated due to the travel bans and advisories in many countries regarding inbound and outbound entry and quarantine regulations. During the period August 2020-July 2021, tourist arrivals to the United States totaled 13.8 million, a decline of 83% compared the level during the same period prior to the pandemic in 2019.

 

Here are highlights from the 2021 report:
