Disney has warned a fall in the number of tourists to the US will hit business after it was boosted by higher spending at its theme parks and cruises last year.
The entertainment giant said overall sales rose 5% to $26 billion (£19bn) over the three months to December 27, thanks to record revenues at its experiences division.
It said parks in the US – which include Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida and Disneyland Resort near Los Angeles, California – and experiences posted a record quarterly revenue of $10bn (£7.3bn).
But it warned that these parks on home soil are being impacted by ‘international visitation headwinds’.
This means the division is seeing just ‘modest’ growth in this current quarter.
Foreign visitors have been swerving the US after Donald Trump whipped up tensions with other countries, including neighbours Mexico and Canada.
There was a 6% drop in foreign tourists to the US last year, according to industry body the World Travel & Tourism Council.
But Disney said it was anticipating higher growth in its experiences arm in the second half of the year ahead of its eighth cruise ship, the Disney Adventure, launching in March.
