US Source Tourism Market Dynamics

Domestic tourist expenditure grew consistently from 2017 to 2019 but declined significantly in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite this drastic fall, there was a noticeable recovery in travel expenditure in 2021. This was mostly driven by the retail, transportation, and food service sectors. The forecast values for the period 2023 to 2027 suggest a substantial increase in domestic tourist expenditure across all sectors, thereby promoting growth and recovery of the economy fueled by the lifting of travel restrictions, increased vaccinations, and demand to travel both for leisure and to visit friends and relatives.

In terms of outbound tourist spending, transportation remains the highest spending category for US tourists. Affordability and accessibility are the most considered factors by US travelers when choosing a destination. The significant growth projected for the different sectors shows a positive outlook for the US tourism industry.

US Source Tourism Market Segments

The key segments in the US source tourism market are domestic tourism and outbound tourism. Domestic tourism was the leading segment in the US source tourism market in 2022.

Domestic Tourism: Visiting Friends and Relatives (VFR) has always been the key driver of domestic travel in the US. Thus, with the understanding of travel patterns and traveler behavior, VFR is being looked at as a forerunner in the recovery of domestic travel in the US. In addition, for the year 2022, travel by land was by far the most popular mode of transport. As restrictions eased in 2021, there was a slight recovery in expenditure, particularly in retail, entertainment & sightseeing, food service, and travel intermediaries sectors in the domestic market. As domestic travel recovers further, domestic expenditure on tourism is expected to rise significantly by 2027.

Outbound Tourism:  There is a growing demand for outbound travel from the US. This trend is largely attributed to the reopening of the Canada-US-Mexico border for all travelers. As vaccination efforts increase and travelers regain confidence in international travel post-pandemic, GlobalData projects international departures to grow significantly by 2027. Leisure is the primary purpose of outbound travel for US travelers as US citizens find it easy to travel to 185 countries visa-free. Moreover, multiple air routes have been revived among nations, thereby dramatically increasing the accessibility to travel, which is an important consideration for travelers when making travel plans.

The most popular holiday choice for US travelers is the sun and beach.

Mexico, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic are among the most sought-after tourist destinations. Even in the domestic market, there is strong demand for sun-and-fun variety locations in Florida. This allows them an opportunity to escape the cold and benefit of the tropical weather along with the local food and culture. These destinations often have a vibrant tourism infrastructure, with resorts, restaurants, and entertainment that cater to all kinds of international visitors. This type of holiday is in high demand across the globe and is perceived to be a major driver of recovery of tourism.

GlobalData Analytics and visualisation solutions has contributed positively when preparing management presentations and strategic papers.”

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
