THE US Government has suspended the reporting of visitor statistics, blaming technical problems and inaccuracies in recent data.
The National Travel and Tourism Office (NTTO) has said it will not release new data while it addresses the issues, leaving the travel industry with no reliable figures since the month of Sep.
The move has prompted observations that the US has prevented analysis of the so-called “Trump slump” in arrivals, though the NTTO says visitors might have been under-counted.
