"expenditures by international visitors in the United States totaled $244.7 billion in 2016"

About 1.3% of US GDP - which is maybe not significant to the US economy as a whole but I suspect that spending is very localized in locations that probably would suffer if foreign tourists reduced in numbers.

The US economy is really massive, $244.7 billion is more than the GDP of Finland.
