The US is facing an unprecedented decline in tourism revenue in 2025, standing alone among major global economies in this downturn largely due to the impact of the America First policy.
If are thinking about coming to the U.S. this summer for vacation, please do not. Things are bad here. Worse than the news is letting on, even. PLEASE don't come here. Things are only going to get worse this summer.
I read the entire article and not once do they mention this is due to Trump. They just say the current administration. God these fucking media outlets are spineless fucks. Did we have this net negative $12 billion dollar in tourism during the Biden admin? The media is so fucking scared or just complacent with Trump they try everything in their power to not openly criticism him. Fucking pussies
Who wouldn't want to vacation in a country where one could be snatched up, held for weeks or even months, and finally deported? If you're very lucky, you'll be deported to your home country.
Not only tourism. Scientists are cancelling conference attendances of fear they‘ll get harassed or deported (which already happened). It’s such a shame because science need exchange.
Let's fucking go! Keep it up everyone, make people here really see and feel the consequences.
I'm under no illusion that anyone who voted for this will "feel bad" or regret their vote. As we have been seeing the people who voted for this do not regret their decision perse. However, the hate that fuels them will only take them so far. If things get bad enough quick enough they might be able to remember it the next time (if there ever is one). I think the cult following of Trump and their emotional sunk cost fallacy won't let them see that voting for Trump was a bad idea, but there is a small chance they will recognize and reject it in whoever comes next.
I'm under no illusion the above will actually happen, I just think it's the best that can be hoped for.
I live in a major tourist city, and the word around town is that there will be a steep decline from foreign visitors, but many are still coming anyway, because they've had their vacations booked for months, and it's too late to change.
But if this keeps up, next summer will be a bloodbath.
Bizarre AI photo at the top, no author byline, no link to the source of the data (if there is one), no specific report mentioned, just "the latest analysis".
This looks to me like an AI-generated article where someone either prompted it to "summarize" a real report or else it hallucinated a report based on whatever supposedly relevant internet news it's eaten recently.
Going to the site that comes up for a search for World Travel & Tourism Council and looking around on it, I don't see a report on this topic.
Why would you not want to visit a fascist hell-hole where human rights don't exist, the rule of law has broken down, and you can be abducted, imprisoned without charge or deported at any moment just for the crime of being foreign?
I'm sort of idly curious who President Manbaby is going to blame for this.
It goes without saying that it'll be someone other than himself - broadly that's who he blames for everything he fucks up. But I wonder who specifically.
As with many spoiled children, it's actually sort of perversely amusing to see just how ridiculous his lies might get.
Are americans, both left and right, still believing that their dear leader is a business genius? I think an elementary school grade 2 committee would do better.
Get what you deserve by treating every foreigner like a criminal, and threatening to take over every country. The USA will be 1st in the world in the race to the bottom with this policy.
Industry stakeholders urge policymakers to reconsider travel and immigration policies that may inadvertently discourage international visitors. Reestablishing a welcoming environment...
Rebuilding confidence among global travelers, promoting diverse attractions beyond traditional hubs, and enhancing the visitor experience through innovation and inclusivity are key strategies recommended by tourism economists.
I'm no tourism economist but fat chance of that happening anytime soon while the felon is President.
