So this period last year the visits went up 300K, and this year they are down 200K. So compared to the two year ago it's still up 100K? Am I missing anything? It would be interesting to see the data over a multi-year period.

edit: they actually even say that the data "go back for 3 years", but only show 1 year of data.

It makes sense that 2024 had more travel than 2023, given Covid. But a longer timeline view would be nice, as would measurements in percent rather than numbers.

- A sight uptick followed, but the number was still down 18.4% as of March 28 versus the same time last year.

- Compare that to the number of U.S. citizens returning to the country, which was up nearly 14% by late March from the year earlier.
