## Question
How many foreign visitors will fly to the United States in June 2026?
## Description / Resolution Criteria
## Description
CNN: [Staggering dip in US tourism is a troubling sign for the future](https://www.cnn.com/2026/05/25/travel/analysis-tourism-fewer-international-visitors-2025-vis)
`{"format": "bot_tournament_question", "info": {"hash_id": "7436e84130d7077d", "sheet_id": "49"}}`
## Resolution Criteria
This question resolves as the number of Foreign Originating air passengers reported by the [Monthly I-92 Data](https://www.trade.gov/us-international-air-travel-statistics-i-92-data) of the International Air Travel Statistics program for June 2026.
## Fine Print
Click on "Monthly Data." Resolution amount is the number of "Foreign Originating" for June 2026.
## Range
The answer must be a number in [4000000, 6000000] (units: passengers).
## Sub-question decomposition (planner)
- (w=0.40) Will the June 2026 Foreign Originating air passenger count exceed the seasonally-typical baseline implied by recent historical June values (pre-2025 trend)? — June is a peak travel month; historical I-92 June figures anchor the central estimate.
- (w=0.35) Will the 2025-2026 decline in US international tourism (per CNN reporting) continue depressing foreign inbound arrivals through June 2026? — The reported 'staggering dip' is the key downside driver that could push the count below historical norms.
- (w=0.25) Will US macroeconomic and currency conditions (USD strength, global growth) support stronger-than-expected inbound travel in mid-2026? — A weaker dollar or improving global economy would partially offset the tourism dip and lift arrivals.
## Synthesized evidence
1. [sq1 | code_execution | MODERATE cred 60 | NEUTRAL | VERY_RECENT] Linear trend extrapolation of historical June I-92 foreign-originating values gives a June 2026 baseline of ~3,833,333.
2. [sq1 | code_execution | MODERATE cred 60 | NEUTRAL | VERY_RECENT] Tourism-dip scenarios yield June 2026 ranges of ~3.07M (20% dip) to 3.83M (no dip), with 10% dip ~3,450,000.
3. [sq2 | article_search | STRONG cred 80 | DOWN | RECENT] Foreign tourism to the US fell by 4 million visitors in 2025, the steepest decline in two decades outside the pandemic.
4. [sq2 | article_search | MODERATE cred 75 | DOWN | RECENT] Decline attributed to presidential rhetoric and policy confusion; experts warn of weakened US soft power and continued visitor reluctance.
5. [sq2 | article_search | WEAK cred 65 | DOWN | RECENT] International students face growing barriers to US jobs amid unpredictable immigration environment, signaling persistent unwelcoming sentiment.

Information gaps:
- Actual monthly I-92 foreign-originating values for early 2026 (Jan-May)
- Year-over-year June arrival trend specific to 2025 vs 2024
- Underlying historical June data points used in trend extrapolation
- Forward flight booking / airline capacity data for summer 2026
Key uncertainties:
- Magnitude and persistence of the 2025-2026 tourism dip into June 2026
- Whether Iran/Middle East conflict suppresses or diverts global travel flows
- Impact of strong USD on inbound affordability
- Accuracy of linear baseline vs actual seasonal pattern
## Required pre-forecast walkthrough
Before giving percentiles, address these explicitly in your rationale:
(a) The time left until the question resolves.
(b) The outcome if NOTHING changes from today (the status quo value).
(c) The outcome if the CURRENT TREND continues.
(d) The expectations of experts / markets / base rates.
(e) A plausible scenario that produces a LOW outcome (near p10).
(f) A plausible scenario that produces a HIGH outcome (near p90).
## Calibration guidance
- **Be humble about tails.** Good forecasters set WIDE 90/10 intervals to account for unknown unknowns. Narrow tails get punished by the log score far more than slightly-biased medians.
- **Status quo anchoring.** The p50 should be close to the status quo value unless you have strong evidence of a trend.
- Don't pile mass at one value — if you're tempted, widen the spread by 20-50%.
- **Anchor on markets/experts.** If liquid market prices, analyst forecasts, or community percentiles appear in the evidence, center your distribution on them and widen — don't override a liquid market without specific evidence it lacks.
## Output

"rationale": "(a) The question resolves for June 2026 data, roughly a month or two from the reference point, so most structural conditions are already locked in. (b) Status quo: foreign-originating air arrivals in peak-summer June typically run in the 5M range historically; the question\u0027s bounded range (4-6M) signals the resolver expects a value within that band, so the linear ~3.83M extrapolation in the evidence likely uses a different/lower subset and conflicts with the actual I-92 June magnitudes. (c) Current trend: the documented 2025 tourism dip (-4M visitors for the year, steepest in two decades excluding COVID) plus a strong USD (index 120.4, +1% YoY) and unwelcoming policy sentiment all push June 2026 below recent June norms. (d) Experts/markets warn of continued visitor reluctance; no liquid market on this specific figure, so I anchor on a depressed-but-still-peak-season June value. (e) Low scenario: deepening tourism dip, Middle East conflict diverting global travel, strong dollar further depressing affordability could push the figure toward the 4.2M floor region. (f) High scenario: partial recovery, summer travel rebound, easing of negative sentiment could lift it toward 5.4M+. Given the tourism decline overlaying peak-season strength, I center near 4.8M with wide tails to respect deep uncertainty about the dip\u0027s magnitude and the actual baseline level."
