In 2025, airports across the United States are eerily quiet — terminals that were once bustling with families, tourists, and business travelers are now nearly empty. Tourism in America has plummeted to historic lows, sending shockwaves through the travel industry, local economies, and small businesses that depend on out-of-town visitors to survive.
What’s behind this collapse? A perfect storm of skyrocketing airfare, crippling inflation, strict visa policies, and global distrust in U.S. safety and stability has led to a dramatic downturn in both domestic and international travel. Airlines are canceling routes. Airport staff are being laid off. Hotels are slashing prices just to stay open. In major cities like New York, Orlando, and Los Angeles — once booming tourist hotspots — foot traffic has vanished, and thousands of hospitality workers are out of work.
In this eye-opening video, we take you inside the empty terminals, speak to airport employees fearing job loss, and interview tourism experts who say this might be the worst travel recession in modern history. Small towns that once thrived on tourism dollars are seeing local shops shut down, and national parks that drew millions are now operating at a loss.
