Americans take 93.0 Million international outbound trips each year
- yardstick 5y agoSource? Is this the number of passengers, aircraft movements, or something else? Also is it for American citizens or just people flying from US to non-US? Also factor in that many people who do fly, fly multiple times a year. If that 93m is individual passengers then you should discount it quite a bit to accommodate frequent fliers and overseas tourists returning home.
- qaq 5y agoA google search snippet :) thats number of trips taken by US citizens Number of US citizens who traveled is 44 mil so about half of the number of trips.
- netjiro 5y agoThe gp observation is anecdotal, right? In 2019 Germans made more international tourism trips than americans, despite having only a quarter of the population. But the observations depend on where you travel and see other travellers, right? Go to nw mexico and I expect most tourists are from the us? Whereas mallorca is practically the southernmost german bundesland? And cyprus presents plenty of russians? And comparing geography: Germany is geographically much smaller than the US, and in a place like Liechtenstein it is easy to make an international trip just to go shopping, even if you take the bike.
- qaq 5y agoall very valid points I think the discussion was in the context of USSR
