Why is foreign tourism declining in every major country? France saw a big drop as did Britain and Germany in the same span as this article points out .

It's almost as if america is part of the same trend.

The reason that foreign "tourism" is down is because most of those foreigners save all of their lives for their trip to the United States. Then they violate their visas and stay here permanently. Now they are worried that they will be caught and are keeping their asses home. Mission accomplished!

I blame our drive by,fake,emotion led media more than anything. Everything you see on tv is "protests" etc etc when in reality it's just a ruse.

This is horrible, Toddy. What are we going to do as a nation? How will we survive?

2016 was predicted to suffer a .9% decrease in international travel. The ITA is predicting a 2.4% increase in international visitors for this year, 2017.

No. I think the gist is that he's making it a less welcoming place.


Then the fault is on the visitors warped perception and not on Trump. I'm pretty sure the National Patks are just as inviting now as they were before Trump.

Maybe it turns around. But the article I referenced is about 2017, not last year.

Just admit that your thread was a poorly thought out hatchet job, and we can all go back to watching the Rockets sodomize the pelicans.

No one cares.

All the tourists can stay home.

All the immigrants can go away and stay away.

Crops can rot in the field. Work crews can disappear. Jobs can dry up and go away. No one cares.

Anything bad that happens will be the media's fault. Or someone else. Nothing matters.
