US Outbound - April 2008
Mintel, April 2008, Pages: 59
The US is now the world’s second-largest spender on tourism, and the third-largest worldwide in terms of outbound volume. In 2000, it was the top spender in the world, but significant declines over 2001-03 in outflows allowed Germany to overtake the US in 2003. The tumultuous period between 2001-03 perpetuated the US’s economic weakness, a situation exacerbated by the events of 9/11. During that time, the number of outbound tourists declined by almost nine percentage points, while total expenditure dipped by 5.3%. However, the economy began picking up significantly in 2004, led by rises in household income levels. In spite of a weak Dollar – making travel to many destinations more expensive – and ongoing terrorist threats, the US outbound market prevailed over 2004-06, facilitated by a buoyant economy and consistent consumer spending. Now the outbound market is under threat once again.
