Reading The Pandemic Tourism Crash
Treat this less like a trend and more like a set of individual events. Something different seems to be driving each up or down move rather than one consistent force.
This is one of the most universal shocks in any dataset — pandemic border closures halted global tourism almost completely in 2020, and that shows up here too.
United States's number here, like most in this category, is built from a mix of direct measurement and statistical modeling — reliable for tracking direction, less reliable for pinning down an exact year-to-year figure.
