How Trump’s presidency is disrupting international tourism

  • m.welsch1
  • 15 April 2025
📝 Under Donald Trump's presidency, the United States' reputation has plummeted, as indicated by public perception surveys. A survey by IFOP for NYC.fr revealed a decrease in favorable views of the U.S. among the French from 65% (2010) to 25%—a 40-point drop. Moreover, only 26% of French people now believe the U.S. shares "similar values" with them, a significant decline from 49% in 2004. U.S. tourism potential has also fallen by four points compared to 2022, with New York being the exception, still favored by 62% of French respondents. Across Europe, a YouGov study showed more than 20-point drops in positive views of the U.S. between August 2024 and February 2025: Germany (from 52% to 32%), Sweden (49% to 29%), and Denmark (48% to 20%). This disaffection impacted travel, with Accor hotels experiencing a 25% drop in U.S. bookings and Voyageurs du Monde reporting a 20% booking decline compared to the previous year.

The outdoor hotel industry enters a new era – Part 1

  • m.welsch1
  • 11 April 2025
🏕 France's outdoor hospitality sector saw a mixed 2024 season with a slight decline of 0.3% in campsite overnight stays, totaling 141.18 million, despite a sharp increase in foreign visitors (+4.6%). Coastal campsites experienced a 1% drop, while mountain and rural areas saw increases of 5.3% and 1% respectively. Bookings for Easter weekend 2025 are up by 1%. Searches for "luxury" campsites skyrocketed by +2,253% in 2024, and stays in premium campsites (4- and 5-star) grew by 1.4%, representing 61% of all campground nights. However, France lost its top spot in European tourism, slipping to third place with a 2.2% decrease. The country has lost nearly 1,600 campsites since 2000, leaving only 7,400, of which just 4,000 are high-performing. The FNHPA is calling for a national tourism strategy to address the decline and support small campsites.
