The U.S. tourism industry slowed in the first quarter, although sales still are above their low point after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
U.S. tourism industry sales fell at a 3.2% annual rate in the first quarter of this year, the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis said.
Sales fell to a seasonally adjusted $177 billion in the first quarter. This followed a 6.9% rise in the fourth quarter to $178.4 billion, revised from a previous estimate of a 4.6% increase.
