The USA is expected to welcome millions of international travellers in 2026, driven by the convergence of three huge global attractions: America’s 250th anniversary of independence, the FIFA World Cup 2026 and Route 66’s 100th birthday.

For the World Cup 2026, eleven of the sixteen host cities for the competition are located in the USA, including Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Seattle.
