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?
While in here US citizens can freely come and go as they please… unfair, to say the least.
There have been far too many examples of ICE detaining law biding citizens at this point. I’m a US citizen and I don’t even want to travel too far.
Who gets the worse end of that? All things considered I’d much rather have a free country to come home to.
Anyone who willingly goes to the Untied States is a fool
Still a vast majority then despite headlines. Which isnt surprising.
Good. I hope thousands of landlords can’t afford their extra homes and are forced to sell, driving down housing prices.
Last time housing prices crashed in the USA, people’s incomes crashed as well or their mortgage obtaining ability did. All it meant was that the already rich and corporations were able to buy up real estate cheap. Did not remotely help 90% of the population.

Something like half of all real estate is owned by private equity.
If you genuinely care about wealth consolidation among the ultra-rich, and you seriously want to do something about it, there’s a Little Red Book with some helpful advice.
But just propping up Boomer real estate values for another ten years isn’t an answer either. It’s a losing game to pretend you can outwit Blackrock on home ownership.
They will only be replaced by richer landlords
Yeah, private capital can just roll in and buy it all up, great!
its usually the already corporate landlords, will bought off by even larger ones, like blackrock.
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.
we wont see any actual data/decline until winter, or next year. trump is totally obsessed with tariffs, and he will keep doing this for his pump and dump schemes.
More like America Worst Policy
As a US citizen I’m nervous to do international tourism as well after hearing so many people get detained at the border. It’s crazy.
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.
when did left americans ever think he’s a genius
I believe 6 of them did, but it was the 80’s.
JFC that fucking pisspoor AI photo they used. I fucking hate the future so much.
Nice. Hope tipping system goes away.
No shit, fuck around and find out.
All patriotic Americans should only vacation within the US or pay a holiday tariff to do so abroad!
Americans already only vacation within the US so I’m not sure how much of an impact it would have.
Maybe it’s changed since COVID but a hell of a lot go to Mexico

You think this wasn’t part of the plan? Crash the economy, then use the bad economy as a rationale to impose deep austerity and privatization.
Plus, it’s easier to commit atrocities against your citizens when the free world can’t see. Wealthy Russians and Saudis will still visit.
This article is a bunch of fluff. Do we have any data to support the claim that tourism is down? What are the projected losses based on?
There’s multiple reports over multiple weeks showing declines of 15-25% in automobile crossings at the Canada/USA borders. Some flights have reduced frequency as well.
E.g
Now, I can’t speak to losses, and this is only from Canada, but it’s not nothing either.
Data from our may long weekend last week will probably be out soon as well.
Interesting, looks up we are up from February. The more meaningful data will come over the summer months. Worth watching.
I mean, I do have to concede that multiple accounts of abuse by TSA and border patrol, including solitary confinement without charge, plus many countries issuing a travel warning for America isn’t ‘data and projected losses’…
IDK why they don’t link to the actual report they’re referencing but it appears they’ve been a real player in travel/tourism data for several decades.
