Can I visit the US for tourism on a previously unused B1/B2 visa?

A B1/B2 visa allows you to travel for both tourism and business purposes:

Visitor visas are nonimmigrant visas for persons who want to enter the United States temporarily for business (visa category B-1), tourism, pleasure or visiting (visa category B-2), or a combination of both purposes (B-1/B-2).

Therefore, although your original plans might have changed, you should be allowed to visit the US as a tourist on that visa. Obviously, you’ll have to explain your travel purposes when entering the US. Be honest about your change of plans and make sure you have all the necessary documentation to prove that you are not trying anything illegal.
