Travel to the United States in 2025: What to Expect

Since the announcement of new trade tensions under President Trump, many are hesitant to cross the American border.

Between trade war, divisive political speeches, and sometimes anxiety-inducing news, it's understandable to have doubts.

Once there, it’s a whole different story. What if we told you that 2025 is the best time for a trip to the United States?

Take advantage of incredibly low prices

If you needed a little nudge to make up your mind, here it is: 2025 is a golden year for your wallet!

Here’s why everything costs (much) less this year:

• The US dollar is weak against the euro: As a result, everything is more affordable once you're there, from hotels and meals to souvenirs. You can treat yourself without feeling guilty!
• Oil prices have dropped: As a direct consequence, flight tickets are more affordable than ever. It’s the perfect time to grab a flight deal!
• Petrol prices are back under $3 per gallon: If you dream of a road trip adventure, your fuel budget will be much lighter than before.
• Hotel occupancy rates are down: To fill their rooms, American hoteliers are slashing prices. And honestly, who’s going to complain?

In short, in 2025, travelling to the United States means spending less to experience more.

There are far fewer tourists

There is a real movement of boycott of the United States due to the tariff war, and the travel industry is not exempt.

In 2025, fewer travelers dare to take the plunge. And yet, it's precisely now that you should go.

Why?

• The great national parks of the American West have never been so quiet.
• You can discover Bryce Canyon, Zion, Arches, or the Grand Canyon in a peaceful, almost intimate atmosphere.
• You can take your photos without jostling, or waiting your turn.
• Campsites and lodges are more accessible, even at the last minute.
• The experience is smoother, more human.

It's a bit like going back ten years in time.

A rare pause, to be savored now.

And on site, tourism professionals are more available and motivated than ever to welcome you. Hoteliers, guides, restaurateurs… all are eager to share their part of the country with you.

Travel to better understand

The United States of 2025 is experiencing an exciting transition. Traveling to the USA this year is not just ticking places off a map. It’s about having an authentic encounter with today's America, its contrasts, hopes, and challenges.

It’s observing a country searching for itself, beyond political speeches.

It’s exchanging, listening, being open to others.

It’s maintaining connections where some build walls.

He who travels without meeting the other does not travel, he simply moves.
