Its actually alarming how many republicans work in tourism, one way or another. Same goes for anything real estate. Hope they lose their asses. They will also claim that "this isn't what I voted for" when they are found crying online.

Lost my $$$. I went to NZ instead. Such a great trip.

Great tourism slogan:

VISIT THE U.S. AND GET KIDNAPPED BY ICE NAZI STORMTROOPERS AND HELD IN A NEWARK, NEW JERSEY PRISON.

More and more are deciding to not step foot into the USA!
This is what you apparently wanted, figure this out without the rest of the world i guess!

Nevada tourism slogan went from Arrive On Vacation, Leave On Probation to We Will Not Interfere With ICE in Disappearing Foreign Tourists

Vegas is already taking a hit.

I have no business getting random offers from places I haven’t been to in years, but I’m getting them.

America is Trump's latest business venture. He'll bankrupt the nation just as he's done with every other business he's put his tiny hands on. Impeach. We don't have to go down this road.

It's fine. 'Murica doesn't need small business! We have countries giving us planes we have become so great!
Even our enemies love us!

12.5 is conservative

Karma:

Trump says Canada wants to and should be our 51st state.

Canada is cleaning up on diverted tourism.

That ripple effect is gonna be a bugger!

jhaven1974.bsky.social•32 days ago

That's it? There would be zero chance in hell I would come here, vacation or business, if I didn't already live here.

docp386.bsky.social•32 days ago

The article comes across as being rather tone deaf. Canadians and Mexicans are travelling. Just not to the u s. And it's not only visa/border issues. It's a wider boycott of anything american in response to the wider disgusting behavior of the u.s. Admin. It's not going to get better any time soon.

The Trump Effect…more like a defect. Smh. Winning…lol

yellowdaffodils56.bsky.social•33 days ago

Why would anyone want to spend $$ or risk their well-being to visit a country under siege? One that taunts us with erasing our sovereignty? One where law enforcement acts like SS officers? One where the existence of habeas corpus is being questioned? Soon the US will be Libya in traveller's minds.

jhaven1974.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yep, in their minds but not reality. I wouldn't come here if I didn't already live here but comparing the US to Libya is no different than me comparing Canada to Iran. Trump was democratically elected, he's being constrained by our courts, and the Senate is trying to take his emergency powers away.

Trumps Owners are forcing him to drive America to a 2nd Great Depression. It is intentional this time. Once we are starving it’ll be harder to fight them.

jhaven1974.bsky.social•32 days ago

The silver lining will hopefully be that, the last time Republicans tried to wield tariffs like weapons like they are now, Democrats controlled Congress for half a century and ten more for the House. 🤷‍♂️

carl-gustav.bsky.social•32 days ago

Major drop in ferry bookings between Vancouver Isle and Washington have forced cuts to the summer schedule.

It’s like if Black Friday didn’t happen, some of the tourist facing local biz make nearly all their revenue June-Aug. It’s going to wipe folks out.

shuntbump.bsky.social•32 days ago

But felon orange is getting a new plane from a gov that destroyed the trade towers, what a deal! Too bad he can’t just pardon them

macguillemhoire.bsky.social•32 days ago

as a non-American...even as a white one
why would i holiday in a nativist, ethnocentric racist swamp...?

edickenson.bsky.social•32 days ago

Their estimate is low. Unless immediate action is taken Americans need to prepare for another Great Depression.

inkogneto.bsky.social•33 days ago

The economic footprint produced by the tourism and travel industry in the US is $2.8 trillion. Travel and tourism support 18 million jobs across the US
You just lost all that! Nobody is visiting a Nazi Shithole country....who would risk it!
No Olympics, No World Cup, No Tourists

mark79542085.bsky.social•32 days ago

Just strictly from a tourism standpoint, the World Cup and the Olympics will be a disaster.

jhaven1974.bsky.social•32 days ago

Let's face it, Americans we're going to be filling the stadiums for Americans fifth most popular sport, most of those tickets were going to people who will not come now and they will desperately give tickets away to locals so the stands are completely empty.

If I didn't live here I would not come.

mark79542085.bsky.social•32 days ago

100%

inkogneto.bsky.social•32 days ago

That won't produce the Tourist income to justify the cost of putting it on

gailrsa.bsky.social•32 days ago

All plans to visit the US shelved until you've reversed this juggernaut
