Many experts remain bullish about prospects for tourism, despite a strong dollar that makes the U.S. expensive for some international travelers. The U.S. Commerce Department predicts a record 78.6 million international visitors will visit the U.S. in 2017.
Brand USA, which promotes travel to the U.S., said it has “not received any data that shows any tangible change in bookings or cancellations by international travelers.”

The exchange rate will have more to do with this than anything else.

All the problems America has, and you're worried about tourism?

So the Mexican nationals aren't pushing me out of the way in the La Canterra shops of San Antonio. I consider that a win.

One more factor to be considered is a big one...the Chicoms are drastically shutting down the outflow of money from the country as the wealthy ones are in a panic to get what they can out of the country before the collapse...just the facts...the Chinese Warren Buffet has liquidated all of his Chinese assets and moved it out of China over a year ago...hell, they are buying Hollywood from the Jews as I write this...just the facts

Left out this part and about the Canadian boycott. Didn't know about that until I just read this.

Some data suggests a downturn in bookings in the days after the ban was announced.
StudentUniverse.com, a site geared to travelers ages 18-26, said bookings from the United Kingdom to the U.S. dropped 19 percent between Jan. 27 and Feb. 7 compared to the same period last year. ForwardKeys, which analyzes 16 million flight reservation transactions a day, said bookings to the U.S. dropped 6.5 percent between Jan. 28 and Feb. 4 compared with the same period in 2016.
An op-ed piece in the Toronto Star newspaper last week encouraged Canadians to “boycott vacations to the U.S.” until Trump’s term is over. “The Grand Canyon will still be there,” the piece said. “The Golden Gate Bridge. Mount Rushmore. Disney World. They’ll all be there. And with any luck, the Statue of Liberty will still be there too.”
Travel agent Melissa Erskine, owner of iDream Travel based in Ontario, Canada, says some of her clients “are no longer interested in going to the U.S. due to Donald Trump’s policies and have looked at other options within Canada. I just booked flights for two families to New York City for April and they have taken out trip cancellation insurance … They wanted peace of mind that they can cancel their trip if needed.”
Fred Dixon, CEO of NYC & Co., New York’s tourism agency, said Canada is New York’s second-biggest international market after the United Kingdom, “so when our neighbors to the north call for a boycott, it’s a huge cause for concern.”

So the 6.5% drop is based upon a week's worth of data from this year versus last year on the same week? Fascinating.

This thread title is so silly that I laugh at it every tie I see it.

I think you just set a record. Is your first post ever where you didn't use profanity?

Not true. Alberta, BC, and Saskatchewan license plates are everywhere here.

Before I scrolled down I was trying to imagine how stupid the first response would be and you knocked it out of the park.

Kinda sad they're hoping for an economic drop off.

My wife hopes so; she is going to Disney.

I guess they don't want to get mobbed by hysterical libtards at the airport and then get stuck in a day long traffic jam because some morons are standing in the street
