Tourism is a huge business in the US. Read these charts as more data predicting a recession. The damage to the US brand will be harder to reverse than the tariffs.
So, how many jobs are impacted by this? Airlines + services, hospitality, transport, museums, theme parks, etc.. From pilots to cleaners. If tourism winds back, so the requirement for services. Tell me, How does this makes America great again?
Create a few thousand (maybe) auto jobs - lose 11 million tourism and travel related jobs. I'm sure there's a deep strategy here... similar to the one he used with his casinos? 🤔
On the plus side (not really though) people in America on work visas are being advised not to travel internationally as they might not be able to return so internal tourism might go up ...maybe
Interesting thought. I just looked up the tourist numbers. This is 66 million tourists for 2023. Then looked at green card holders. That's 13 million, "could" match a 20% drop in foreign tourism. A further problem, they don't bring in money from outside the USA. Trade deficit remains.
Republican ideology is garbage. It's all based on delusion and nonsense, and it does not work in the real world. trump is a fucking idiot. But so are the oligarchs and the deviant freaks surrounding him. IDIOTS.
What America is waking up to is class consciousness. Basically what people and corporations will do if un-constrained by government.
They will take away everything you have in order to make you beg for their money in return for anything they choose.
F.Y.I just a short note. Paul Revere did not shout out, "The British Are Coming!"
He shouted out, "The Regulars Are Coming!" Because back then we were all British. Forgive me, as I just had to say this. Sincerely from your Canadian Cousin.
Just in the last few minutes, I’ve read about how American companies are cutting their forecasts for the year, China cancelled an order for 130 planes from Boeing because tariffs doubled the costs, how tariffs will cause empty shelves in stores, and now intl tourism is taking a nosedive.
You’ve seen many of the industries hit. There are other industries also. About 9O% of clothing & shoes will be skyrocketing. They are from China & Vietnam. Candy - chocolates. Spirits & wine - Our whiskey is in trouble! It’s not in news much yet but will be. Sending “my notes” l make for my posts.
Personal opinion but l think both. He has a primitive sense of shark-like attack, but he’s incredibly stupid. He can’t understand simple, basic concepts. He’s probably a functioning illiterate. I think this may be on purpose also. He’s helping destroy our foundations. More notes 👇 1/
2/ I’ve been scrolling all the time whatever it is, for my info! I eidhl could save my tweets!!! I often condense info in brief form from 2-3 articles. It takes forever to find my notes, but you don’t get the precise, accurate tweet. Sorry. He beyond belief “ignorant!” I was trying to find 2/
3/ I’d listed major stupid stuff in my tweet. From memory:
•Staff had to explain time differences when he made calls to Japan. Wanted to call at middle of night in Japan. KIDS UNDERSTAND TIME ZONES! He’s not fit to be POTUS!
•Belgium is a lovely city
•Paris is in Germany
•Colorado borders Mexico
Someone posted a thread yesterday on how all shipping from China to the US was cut off as of April 10th. There will be a massive shortage of container ships arriving on the west coast this weekend last week there was a 10% drop i.e. between April 2nd to April 10th expect empty shelves next week. 1/2
2/2 The tariff war will be felt starting next week not in just price increases but product shortages. This is why Walmart Target Home Depot Lowe's and others were at the White House on Monday. They found out their orders were cancelled or paused and still in China and won't be arriving anytime soon
I just had to explain to my husband again why I can’t go to some distant in law shindig down in Massachusetts in July. Odds are truly high I would be searched and detained. And I’m a lawyer as well as an artist. So yeah, maybe never again in my lifetime.
I'm sure not all of it is Vacation travel, but the portion that is will be spent elsewhere helping those economies. Vacation is discretionary spending. Our loss and their gain.
Canadians are “brewing up”. The US military invasion of Canada will come. Trump keeps telling us daily. Will the UK stand with Canada (like Canadians fought in the Battle of Britain for the UK)? Or will the UK throw Canada under the bus like PM Starmer did on live TV? #Never51 #FUQ47
Responding to the invocation of article 5 isn't a choice. It's a basic requirement of membership. In any event, the military might of Europe alone far exceeds the USA's capabilities.
Who cares about the USA? The reality is the USA needs Europe far more than Europe needs the US. Don't fall victim to the myth of American exceptionalism. America has been dug out of every war it ever started by Europe. It has a sizable military, but its command structure is a shambles.
It took Canada only a week to get ready and come to England’s aid in 1939. You know, when the chips were down and nobody else was coming. Canada was there. We came regardless of the odds.
Don’t worry, our “SecSef” will leak invasion plans via his porn account from his DoD computer out of his make up room and you’ll know in advance. Plus lots of Americans will warn you.
Will be the greatest success of all times, the greatest games, with American athletes winning all the magnificent medals - running out of competition 😏
So far , everyone has been nice to me when I have traveled in the EU. Not sure that will last. But there was some idiot American wearing a Maga hat in the Netherlands when I was there a few weeks ago.
Nope. I canceled my visit as well. It's so sad. But here we are. I don't like to be molested by a border guard and my privacy being violated. It's not a joke, the US has a horrible PR right now. What is going on? This is insane. I always enjoyed my stay in the US. #NAFO #Fellas
Trump understands nothing about the good people of this world. He doesn’t comprehend anything good. When Churchill died I think he scattered pieces of his steely determination and moral courage all over Britain, Europe and Canada. We will never surrender to him and his servants. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇬🇧🇬🇧🇪🇺🇪🇺
I agree he doesn’t care. But I also think he suffers from a personality disorder that makes it virtually impossible for him to actually understand the value of ‘good’ virtues, kindness, self sacrifice, compassion, mercy etc. He does not appreciate how powerful these qualities are.
C'mon World! You'll never make the finals with these Amateur numbers. As an American, I want the numbers low enough that we can call folks out by name.
"Damnit Steve, we trying to do something here!"
My husband and i were gonna bring our 5 kids and DiL for my 50th this summer. Came to Florida from UK last year & our youngest wanted us all to go to Universal Florida's new park
We were excited for it, but we ain't coming now. My daughter is trans. America is dangerous for her. I hate Trump, so...
Consider Vancouver/Victoria/BC. Compares well with LA/Cali road trip. Around a week in Vancouver (best Chinese food in the world!); head up North to Whistler or even over to Banff, AB; then hop over to the island for a week. Genuinely some of the best parks on earth in the area. Canadian rainforest!
I’m sorry. I understand how your son might be disappointed. I think it’s a good decision! It’s not safe for travelers here. Throw out any other reasons, ppl from other countries are being targeted at the borders & elsewhere. Being detained. Again, l’m so sorry.
It’s not going great here. He’s attacking companies, individuals, ppl. I’d be joining you. He put so much pressure on, 60 minutes CEO quit. It’s terrifying how much my country changed. Unbelievable so many cave. Harvard stood up alone! I’m discouraged to see these changes. https://search.app/CZVPc6fjt3biFTHz7
They'd still have to go through immigration/passport control. My niece is an American in Scotland at school, is non-binary and their parents are afraid their passport may cause them to be rejected when they try to return to the US.
True enough in Trumpland. California is still a sanctuary state. The best shot is coming into S.F. or L.A. But, I wouldn’t risk it either. Who needs the trouble? 👿
Perhaps they might have read accounts of stories like the two teenage German girls with valid travel documents who were detained for several days, strip searched and deported--because they did not have hotel reservations for their entire planned stay in Hawaii.
When I went to my local protest dressed as Paul Revere, lots of folks told me, "the red hats are coming." Yeah, they were already here, but now they are breaking everything.
Would LOVE to see citizens of the world boycott the US-hosted matches of the World Cup next year. As much as the loss of tourism revenue would hurt us (Americans), we totally deserve it.
Big part of the right wing ideology is that “real Americans” are 100% self sufficient and don’t need anybody for anything - like Clint Eastwood in a western. But this is fantasy. Human survival has always depended on teamwork to some degree, even for cowboys! Americans will learn that the hard way.
Cooperation has *always* beaten competition. But US still worships a distorted Darwinism as a defence. They are so insecure. Their ancestors *failed* in Europe, so they imagine they were “selected” to be the best in America.
The individualism,"what's in it for me", even pollutes the so called "left wing" in the USA. It's a very extreme ideology over there. The movie example is a good one, with The Magnificent 7 being a notable exception... because it's actually a Japanese story (The 7 Samurai).
What 'travel warnings' have they given? Their official travel advice for the USA hasn't been updated since March 14, and seems very generic and pedestrian: https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/usa Reads almost the same as the advice for Canada. In stark contrast to the advice for Tunisia.
Nobody in his right mind wants to go on holiday to the USA.
ICE is the new Gestapo and will arrest anyone and ship them to El Salvador or hold them without due process.
It’s going to be very interesting the first time ICE kidnaps a citizen of another country and sends them to El Salvador. It’s just a matter of time till it happens.
The Trump admin seems to be determined to start a war, either civil or with another country. And these kidnappings seem to be the most likely way to instigate it.
Comments
This isn't getting as much attention and coverage, but the number of Asians, Africans, and South Americans coming here are dropping as well.
Overall, much of the world has little to no interest in taking risks in traveling to the US.
I mean it won't, because Americans will be burning dollars to cook rats, but the figures and stats ...
into a lawless hate filled fascistic failed state.
They will take away everything you have in order to make you beg for their money in return for anything they choose.

How is it that some people seem to conceptualize these categories not to intersect?
We’re in a mess & we’ll be lucky to get out in 3 yrs. I’m terrified he’ll take over. GOP isn’t standing up for USA & the Constitution.
I spend my time currently with my furbabies & reading the news.
Nice to meet you.

Oh well, can't go now. I think I might go to Italy, or Japan or literally fucking anywhere on the planet.

And it is the Canadians who once visited the most and spent the most.
This Montrealer, who lives a half-hour drive from the republic to the south, is hoping to visit again in 2029.
"Damnit Steve, we trying to do something here!"
Maybe just to go and laugh at cybertrucks and the price of eggs perhaps......
Still not worth it though
We were excited for it, but we ain't coming now. My daughter is trans. America is dangerous for her. I hate Trump, so...
I really need to start checking what I type before pressing "Reply."
Always said we will cone over there one day. So sad we never got to leave the airport.
my life. It is
absolutely stunning.
Check him out!
I wish you all love and luck
Wish you well!
That's not "safe".

“…why are there no bells, there are supposed to be bells”
At least in Hollywood you know it’s fake.
ICE is the new Gestapo and will arrest anyone and ship them to El Salvador or hold them without due process.
If ICE checks my phone I am arrested on the spot.
Not like ICE, they are full on NAZI’s.
U.S. recession coming.
