(Last year, those visitors spent nearly $179 billion on travel in the United States, a number that is expected to be $6 billion lower in 2025.) “May was terrible. June was terrible. July was terrible. August was terrible, September and October and November,” a bike tour operation in Key West, Fla., told The Times. “That’s not going to pay the rent.”
