So you're positive it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the really really strong dollar relative to the recent past?

The dollar is strong but it's been building up for a while. In fact there's a local maximum at around the new year. LINK

It's not something that would affect tourism in just the last few months.

Yep.

I expected so much more out of one of the figures from Eurotrip. No data was given to support that travel is down from a year ago--indicating seasonality, or travel was down due from different regions of the globe due to specific reasons. All in all, an article with a really bad premise that shouldn't be considered newsworthy.
