      Data from the European Travel Commission shows that the share of US travelers who are planning a European vacation has dropped from 45% in 2024 to 37% in 2025—the lowest level since 2021, according to a Feb. 3 report published in conjunction with train operator Eurail BV.

      The main factor sinking Americans’ interest in Europe is cost, according to the report. A preference for domestic travel ranked as the second most-common deterrent to European travel, trailing closely behind price.

      It’s actual pretty expensive to maintain an actual culture.

    6. RoadandHardtail on

      It’s not 100% true. Asia is getting *significantly* cheaper for Americans.

      America’s high cost of everything else is driving European tourists away.

      >Travelers from around the world are feeling priced out of Europe, a new report shows—and big-spending Americans are no exception.

      So this isn’t really about Americans, just the tourism sector in general is pricing visitors out.

      More Americans should travel outside of their bubble. Travel widens your perspective.

      That said, I don’t think many Trump voters were ever thinking of taking trips to Europe and experiencing and appreciating the culture.

      Also, a lot of major European cities are struggling with too much tourism ([Barcelona](https://www.euronews.com/travel/2024/12/23/from-street-protests-to-an-airbnb-ban-all-the-ways-barcelona-said-no-to-tourists-in-2024) is a great example). It’s possible the higher prices and decline in tourism are actually intentional.

      That’s a stupid article. The USD is very strong compared to EUR, so its cheaper for them to come here and more expensive for us to go the US. Anybody who’s been a tourist the past 3-4 years can confirm this.

      I don’t understand the sentiment here in the comments.

      You might not like Trump but it’s simply a fact that Americans bring good money wherever they travel. Since we’re incapable of creating our own big tech, we need to rely on our own strenghts – tourism being definitely one of them.

      They can’t wait for the Trump casino and golf resort to open in Gaza.

      It’s not Europe’s travel cost that is high lol it’s crossing the ocean.

      I can easily go on ~800km two-way flights within Europe for 50 euros. I can take a train from my capital to the next one for about 20 euros.

      This article seems poorly worded.

    20. Scary_Woodpecker_110 on

      Dollar is through the roof, it should be quite cheap for them.

    21. Fact-Adept on

      I thought all Americans were rich and we were the poor ones?

      This is a problem for people living in Europe as well. I feel in the last 2 years the price of tourism related items/services in Europe skyrocketed while it did not anywhere else.

      Why would I pay for an accommodation over 100€ per night, plus over 20€ per major meal per person, plus 250€ per flight, while with 50€ per night, 10€ per meal and 700€ flight I can fly to Asia. For a long holiday the choice is pretty simple.

      Most of EU countries are as expensive as most of major US cities, with much lower salaries.

    23. Kaljuuntuva_Teppo on

      Same could be said vice-versa. US ain’t cheap to visit either.
      But some European countries are way cheaper e.g. Croatia.

      This article seems pointless..

    24. MiawHansen on

      Bigger cities are expensive, same in the US – but going to countries in eastern / southeren Europe is pretty damn cheap?. Atleast i think, coming from north Europe.

    27. Anxious-Sea-5808 on

      As an European, I also feel priced out and choose to fly other directions for better and cheaper experience.

    28. yyytobyyy on

      tbh, popular places in Europe are overcrowded with tourists. Prague in the summer is absolutely insane.

      If the prices rise so there is half the number of tourists and same revenue, it’ll be healthier for everybody.

    30. Funny_Language_2158 on

      That’s great news. The less tourists the better.

      The more a country depends on tourism, the more it becomes a 3rd world banana republic. Only a small minority of people benefit from tourism, the rest of the population has to deal with the mess it creates (overcrowding, housing crisis, crime, etc…).

      That absolutely did NOT stop them from FLOCKING to Europe for Taylor Swift and Beyoncé’s concerts, leaving no tickets for the Europeans.

    33. Azhz96 on

      Good, fuck them. Let them stay in their own dumb country far away from the rest of us.

    34. ReinrassigerRuede on

      >Europe’s High Travel Costs Are Driving Americans Away

      Atleast some good news.

    41. Eymrich on

      I think we need to learn to travel less.
      The world is not made for 7 billions influencers going around every few month in different countries/continents. Mass tourism is just shit.

      The only way to fix this is by pricing out people sadly

      This tough is also a big problem when the local population is priced out. One thing needs to happen without the other.
