The U.S. welcome mat is rolling up — at least that’s how some international travelers see it, according to a global organization representing the travel and tourism industry. It could cost the U.S. billions.

Allegedly Musk has like 30+ kids with like 20 different women, will mot be surprised if he has like 500+ people in his extended families, at this point, nothing surprises me anymore with Musk + 🍊💩absolutely anything is possible.
Everyone is talking about Musk. He is probably in the top ten least liked people on the planet. That list is Putin, Netanyahu, ... ... ... ... Musk, Trump ... ... #topten
New Jersey tourism commercial plays that god awful "Wow" song.
Me: I already had no plans to visit Jersey and now??? Wow...bad advertising.
Some country oversees does an American commercial saying "Many Americans come here!"
Me: Then it's a NOPE for me. I want to hang with locals, not Americans.
So the guy who spent his life making himself and everyone else broke until he got a TV show and turned it into the best grift of his career as the president, is going to make everyone but himself broke? Crazy talk.
The United States of America is so screwed you don't even have an inkling of an idea how our country will look like after 4 years of Trump. One thing is for sure: The United States as we know it is gone! Permanently!! And we are only three Month into Trump's 4 year term
Think of all the international business, science, medical, academic and many other conferences that will lose attendance because no one wants to come to the US.
MAGA is intentionally destroying the United States.
The NYT has been a major part of making this happen, you gave Trump a free pass, normalised him and aren't even stading up against his blatantly public corruption.
Well yep if I rocked up to your boarders to have a holiday with the comments I have made I would be turned away / deported after being held for up to 72 hours
There is no dip in overseas travel to the US in data through April. These data omit Canada and Mexico, as those data take longer to compile, but I think it's important to disregard doomsday story telling by people who have an obvious commercial interest in doing so. Like the tourism industry...
Interesting fact - Florida already lost 12 billion plus in the first year of their anti immigration policies…and is now looking at deficit state budgets for the next 2 yrs per Florida policy Institute 🤷♀️
Hey Rugged He Man of the World, I know you never leave an office, but trust me, where I work, it's noticeably slower . It's not "doomsday story telling", it's a "trailing indicator that you are denying". Are you really fucking implying that travel agencies are trying to panic people here? NERD.
We know how this evil regime can flip.
Besides, people remember the Dark period of the KKK..

Also,the stunts pulled on international students will have an economic impact. Signs point to a significant decrease starting next fall. Potential impact: in 2023-2024, international students contributed $43.8 billion and supported over 378,000 jobs. 3 international students gone=one job lost.
I like to go on the Florida tourism website and sent messages about how much $ spend on my vacation to blue states and why never in their shitty state. With fake email, of course. 😂
If foreign tourists really feel that the United States is "rolling up the welcome mat", it is indeed a warning to the US tourism industry. After all, tourism revenue contributes greatly to the local economy and employment and cannot be ignored.
YOU, the NYT, SUPPORT tRUmp in ALL HIS LIES.
YOU, the NYT, continue to WHITEWASH all his CORRUPTION
YOU, the NYT, are COMPLICIT in the DOWNFALL of America
FAFO , nazi propaganda rag
may you reap what you have sown
They really need to cancel the united states soccer matches for the fifa tournament.... if anybody else who was thinking of holding a large international competitions here. Just please don't f*** this g****** s*******, nation.
The NYT is a huge part of the problem. Doesn’t know how to call a spade a spade. Been calling this fucking orange clown a president acting like he is normal! Well it’s not!
The U. S. Deserves everything it gets. This is obviously what they wanted…. Now they got it!
I won’t travel in the US and I live here. Right now I’m in Vancover enjoying my time spending my money elsewhere!
Ya, why go there? There is Canada which is friendly and beautiful, Europe, Mexico and any other basket of countries- do not support a crazy nation with your dollars
We are not going to choose to take the risk of visiting with so many tourists being put in detention for no reason. Even my 70-odd year old mother has cancelled her dream trip to the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone
No-one I know would consider travelling to the US for the foreseeable future. Govts are warning us that entry rules are now 'unpredictable'. General opinion is that anyone who risks it should probably take a burner phone, to prevent access to their personal data.
I work in the tourism industry in a state on the Canadian border and we have Canadians canceling. They say that it is too dangerous to come to this country, plus they are p'od about Dump's 51st state garbage.
No one in their right minds should travel here. There is beautiful land here, but the whole thing is poisoned. Visit Australia… or Canada. Anywhere except the u.s.
These white "Afrikaner Refugees" had to change out of their normal "outfits" before boarding their plane in Capetown. They're bound for "MAGALAND", where their fellow fascist Afrikaners, Musk & Thiel, are hard at work, destroying American democracy.
Yep!
These are some "real white refugees"!
I am Ahmed from Gaza. Please help my family. My children sleep without food or drink. Samir was injured in the war and needs travel and treatment. I hope there is someone here who is able to adopt my family and help us. Donate at the link in bio🥺🙏
Duh... why would anybody want to come here after seeing all of our chaos and racism playing out. They see Trump clearly as the evil authoritarian he is unlike the people here who voted for him
As an American, I would like to warn travelers to avoid traveling to the US for your own safety.
If a tiny little thing on your paperwork (passport, ect.) seems questionable, the gov't may kidnap you and human traffick you to a concentration camp in El Salvador without due process.
I have heard numerous reports from friends in the hospitality industry that travel is down and it’s gonna stay down for a while. People simply don’t want to come to America with Trump as the head and his fascist Nazi like policies.
No, I don’t blame them but I’m going to miss seeing them. I’m getting a certified copy of my birth certificate and a burner phone just to visit my parents in a red state next month.
Can't blame them. Who's going to sign up for, 'Trump Tours.' "Today, your Guide will be Kristi Noem. Unfortunately, Kristi is not available today, so in her place, your Guide will be Tom Homan. You may not only see views of America from our airports, but also see what El Salvador has to offer."
The US isn't safe for us . Masked, pardoned criminals now roam the streets to kidnap at their will , deport people to concentration camps, this isn't attractive to tourists who could end up in El Salvador instead of returning home . Remove Trump & shit show and we will think about it
Why would I want to come to a country that asks Canadian citizens what they think of the current regime, and if I do not reply the way they want, they could ban me from the country for 2 to 5 years. Plus lots of other border crossing issues.
It was not me, but I heard on a podcast of one Canadian couple who had property in the US who were going through the border and were asked their opinion on the President. They said not a fan, and received a 5 year ban from entering the US. I heard of a similar situation on Bluesky.
You go into the interview room after landing and there's a non-zero chance that the bald white guy conducting the interview will book you a new vacation to El Salvador.
I have trans friends.
Not only would I never visit the US, I wont even buy US products..
Because I stand in solidarity with humans, no matter where they come from or who they love
And american nazis aka christian nationalists aka MAGA/KKK can all crawl back in their holes where they belong

As an American I don’t blame them. I barely want to be here right now. It’s crazy we are letting history repeat in front of our eyes. How many times does a fascist dictatorship need to happen before people learn how stupid and bad it is. 🤦♂️
Why on earth would you come here? Masked security can snatch you off the street, practically everyone is armed, all government parks and facilities have no staff.. The list goes on
The rest of the world weighs in on Trump all the time and offers their opinion on what he should be doing. I don't think most non-Canadians know who Mark Carney is.
I would love to visit the US again, mainly cities I have not seen yet like Chicago or Boston. Alas, I will not be visiting the US as long as the orange humpty-Trumpy is calling the shots. Who knows, his sycophants might see a #fucktrump post on my phone.
Thanks to the sycophant press like the New York Times who sanewashes every illegal and immoral agenda item Trump ever does. Y'all are part of the problem, obviously too big of cowards to do the right thing.
Definitely staying away until democracy returns. And the plane can land safely. And I can eat safe food. And I won't catch a medieval disease. And I won't be given a free excursion to El Salvador. Thoughts & prayers, hank tough. 👊🏻🇺🇲🔥
My American brother living abroad is far too worried about his experience at the US border, let alone that of his non US partner, so our annual family get together is now going to be hosted in Canada.

To make themselves and a minority of voters feel good.
The last thing any of us needs is to be rejected at the border because we've posted a truthfully negative post about a putative dictator.
I'll stay away until the US sorts out its democracy. If indeed it can.
MAGA is intentionally destroying the United States.

I'm not sure that 'rolling up the welcome mat' captures the moment.
And we are ONLY visiting blue states when traveling!! Red states get no more of my money!!
Sorry to all of my blue dot friends!!

The President who married 2 immigrant wives doesn’t want foreigners visiting America 🤷♀️
This represents a value-added contribution of around $2.36 trillion... just enough to cover Trumps golf outings.
Make America 'Grrreat' Again. 🇺🇸

Good luck with all that.

And no one benefits from that.
Maga fans need to see and understand the damage he has caused.
I sense a certain trepidation.
I've been visiting the USA since 1983.
This is gonna cost a lot of jobs unfortunately

Stop dicking around, navel gazing and sanewashing Trump and his fascists and do something about.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
Like the Country our founders tried to give us - with clear warnings. 💁♂️

WE 750 000 000 EUROPEANS ARE BOYCOTTING TRUMPS USA!
We have most of the same stores, and you won't get kidnapped and sent to a hellish network of private-prisons or jungle gulags!
Trump, not so much.
