European tourism to the USA in free fall

I wanted to visit before the collapse, but it didn't work out for multiple reasons.

Now I'm doubly sad that I didn't go. Because if I would indeed decide to go now, it would be a coin toss if a random typo in some papers would land me in a gulag

I won't set foot on US soil again as long as Trump or any other conservative is running this country.

It's not even just about how you get shafted at the border nowadays. I simply don't want to visit a country that is ruled by misanthropic fascists.

And I think that many people will probably feel the same way.

If you enjoy the risk of getting suddenly jailed NK or Iran are way better.

My country is vast. My country is huge. My country is beautiful and welcoming too. My country won’t jail you because of your thoughts. My country is Canada 🇨🇦 and we have amazing vacationing spots.

Well people don't want to be sold into slavery to El Salvador. Big surprise!

i really hope the majority of countries boycott the 2028 games and don't show up in la.

Those charts are soon going to look a lot worse. I know of many people who had already paid for their vacation before the tariffs were announced, so they went anyway. New bookings for flights from Canada to the U.S. are down over 70%.

I don't blame anyone, there is no need to personally see the circus that is our country currently. Watch the circus from stands unless you want to be a part of it.

Only 20 to 30%?

All those ungrateful tourists that can't stand the idea of getting mistakenly deported into a High Security Salvadoran prison and then being left to rot there because 'yeah, it's kinda annoying but we can't get him back, you know'.

If I were the all-mighty orange dude, I would put a 146% tax on every single tourist that is refusing to come spend their money in the USA! They're nothing but traitors! They should pay! And maybe I would invade their country, to show the world who's the boss.

That whole "throwing people in jail for weeks for thought crime" thing isn't as inviting as Trump thinks, apparently.

no shit, dont want to have some border police going through my phone and putting me on detention only to deport me back later

I don't blame any non-American for staying out of the insanity soup going on here.

Even as a middle age, "white privilege" guy, I'm concerned about traveling outside the U.S. and coming back through immigration. I'm liberal, protester, and strongly anti-Maga on the socials.

"People not coming to the US on vacation will be labelled as foreign terrorists. They're doing great harm to a tremendous American industry." - Trump, probably

Quite literally, as this is going on, Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida is trying to convince everyone in the state that it would be a really good idea to just... massively reduce, if not entirely get rid of property taxes.... and base government revenue off of higher sales taxes... on tourists.

Florida is ... almost certainly the US state with the highest proportion of its economy/tax revenue ... tied to tourism.

I struggle to comprehend this level of stupidity, to the point that I am more inclined to believe DeSantis is just trying to make himself king of a rapidly economically declining and literally sinking fiefdom.

Agriculture and fishing? scared all the immigrants away.

Tourism? tanking.

Property values? also tanking.

Property insurance? fleeing the state, no more mortgages.

Uh uh what do what do?

Tax break!

If Dems get the epithet 'tax and spend', Reps get the epithet 'Slash and burn'.

What a fucking moron.

Yeah, I don't want to get detained for a week and sent to el salvador.

European tourism to the USA in free fall

That is what you get when you transport your tourism in a Boeing plane.

I feel bad for the Olympic organizers. Good luck luring tourists to the Olympics.

Yeah I haven't even seen enough amazing places in my own country let along mainland where there's actual history,good unprocessed food,sun,cycling adventures,cheese rolling down hills... Why would I need to go to Stroad Walmart

I'm an American who has traveled to Europe a few times since Trump. I talked with a few Europeans about our president and all but one were not shy about disliking Trump. The only exception was a polish man who honestly seemed like not the greatest guy. MRA type from my interactions with him. Trump is more unhinged than ever so I wouldn't travel here. I absolutely think about the politics of a place and how it could contribute to things going wrong when I travel abroad, so I get it

Good, who would want to visit Nazi Germany. Trump's admin has basically labeled anyone, not a Trumper, an enemy of the state, or is trying to label them as such.

meh, canada and mexico are nice too.

Disneyland tickets are now affordable?

Soon Trump will issue an executive order making it illegal not to visit the US. Everyone in the world not visiting the US because of boycott will be sent to a Salvadoran gulag.

Canada is down 70% including bookings for rest of year. Canadian also own a lot of snowbird property in US, and there's a large amount for sale.

U.K. has fallen by the least, which is disappointing to see.

I used to visit once or twice a year. I don't have any plans any time soon to go back.

GOOD! Dem furners eat our cats!

Ready for 2025?

Canadian's too!

There was something else I read saying it was down to pandemic levels of border crossing. You know....when it was only essential

If they do come they should go to a blue state and any companies taking advantage of cheap offices in places like texas and such should move them over to a blue state as well.

sickos haha yes.bmp

Same was reported for Canada this week. Go team fuck the US!

Go MAGA get SAD-GA

Not doing too badly with the UK tourists yet. Lets double down on British cuisine to entice them over.

Trump brought tourism back to the US lmao suck it libs 🤣 (sarcasm, obviously)

How did Norway manage to go against the trend and increase visits in 2024?
