A fall-off is a drop in a level, an amount, or a number — sales, interest, quality, visitors. Newspapers and business people like it: “a sharp fall-off in tourism.” It names the drop itself, not a person hitting the ground. Though actually, in everyday talk people more often say a drop or a fall; fall-off sounds a little like a report. You may also see falloff, one word; the is common in dictionaries.
