Foreign tourists in the US used to spend a lot more money than American tourists did abroad. That is quickly changing.
In 2015, travelers to the US spent an average of about $22.4 billion per month in the country (adjusted for inflation). By contrast, US travelers spent only about $13.5 billion a month abroad that year, according to data from the US Department of Commerce. Since then, though, this gap in spending has been shrinking.
