How many tourists for muslim speaking countries come to america daily to visit
Executive summary
There are no sources in the provided set that give a direct daily count of tourists from "Muslim-speaking countries" (term unclear) who visit the United States; available reporting instead offers annual and aggregate Muslim-traveler figures and trends (for example, international Muslim arrivals: 176 million in 2024 according to GMTI reporting) and past U.S. Muslim arrivals estimates like 2.57 million in 2014 [1] [2]. Because the precise daily flow from specific countries is not reported in these documents, the best we can do is outline relevant totals, trends and methodological gaps that prevent a simple “per day” answer [1] [2] [3].
1. What the recent global numbers say — scale, growth and projections
Industry reports show the Muslim travel market is large and growing: the Mastercard–CrescentRating Global Muslim Travel Index (GMTI) noted international Muslim arrivals reached 176 million in 2024 and projected growth toward 245 million by 2030, signaling a sizeable global travel segment [1]. Other GMTI and industry summaries put 2023–2024 arrivals in the 145–168 million range and predict continued expansion to the 230–245 million range by the late 2020s [4] [1]. These are global totals, not U.S.-specific daily arrivals [1] [4].
2. What U.S.-specific figures the sources provide
Sources include estimates of Muslim visitors to the U.S. in past years rather than current daily counts: CrescentRating-derived figures cited Muslim visitor arrivals to the U.S. of around 2.57 million in 2014 and earlier data points such as 1.68 million in 2000 [2]. No provided source offers a recent annual total for Muslim arrivals to the U.S. in the 2020s or breaks that total into daily averages [2].
3. Why a “daily number” is hard to produce from available reporting
Converting annual or aggregate international-arrival figures into a daily number requires (a) a reliable annual total for the specific origin countries you mean by “Muslim-speaking,” (b) clear definition of whether you mean tourists only (B‑2 visitors) versus all non‑immigrant entrants, and (c) consistent timeframes. The supplied sources give global or multi-year projections (GMTI) and older U.S. estimates (CrescentRating) but do not provide current, country-by-country daily tourist flows to the U.S., so a direct per‑day figure is not present in the reporting you provided [1] [2].
4. Terminology matters — “Muslim-speaking countries” is ambiguous
The phrase “Muslim speaking countries” is not defined in the sources. Industry and research pieces use terms like “Muslim travelers,” “Muslim-majority countries,” or “Muslim-friendly travel market,” not “Muslim-speaking,” which mixes language and religion categories. Conflating language with religion would change which origin countries you include, and the provided materials do not address that category or give per-country daily visitor counts [1] [2]. Available sources do not mention a “Muslim-speaking countries” daily visitor breakdown.
5. Contextual factors that affect arrivals (policy and market shifts)
Political and policy events affect travel flows: reports note travel bans and policy changes can reduce arrivals from targeted countries—historical travel bans were linked to drops in Middle East visitors, and new policy proposals in 2025 prompted travel advisories—showing that visitor numbers to the U.S. are sensitive to geopolitics and visa rules [5] [6]. Tourism Economics and other forecasters also warned of declines in U.S. overseas arrivals for 2025, which complicates straightforward extrapolation from earlier years [3].
6. How you could get a defensible daily estimate (if you want one)
To compute an evidence-based daily number you would need: (a) a clear list of origin countries you intend to include (e.g., OIC members, Muslim-majority countries, or countries where Muslims are a majority), (b) recent official arrival data broken down by nationality (U.S. Customs & Border Protection or U.S. Travel Association / UNWTO style datasets), and (c) the subset that are tourists (B‑2 visas or arrival reason). None of these granular datasets or a derived daily figure are present in the current sources (available sources do not mention such a dataset).
7. Bottom line and recommended next steps
The supplied reporting documents global Muslim-traveler scale and trends (176 million international Muslim arrivals in 2024; past U.S. Muslim-arrival estimates like 2.57 million in 2014) but do not provide the daily count you asked for or the country-level breakdown needed to compute it [1] [2]. If you want a specific per‑day figure, I recommend obtaining recent U.S. arrival-by-nationality statistics (CBP / NIS / National Travel and Tourism Office) and defining which origin countries to include; those data sources were not among the items you provided (available sources do not mention CBP daily breakdowns by “Muslim-speaking” origin).
