U.S continued to see a slow economic recovery in 2016. The economy was not likely to have a strong rebound due to inflation, uncertain fiscal policy, unbalanced economic structure, etc.

Despite the negative factors mentioned above, U.S. outbound tourism remained a sustained growth, with the number of U.S. outbound tourists reaching 72.56 million from Jan. – Nov. 2016, up by 8% from the same period last year.

Among all global destinations, Canada and Mexico were the most favored ones chosen by over half of the U.S. outbound travelers. Other popular oversea destinations mainly scatter around European and Caribbean areas, like UK, Dominica, France, etc.

The boom of digital media has encouraged more U.S. tourists to review travel website like TripAdvisor when planning for the next trip overseas.
