It's going to take years to recover, decades even, if ever.

Nothing I hear from my friends in Canada or Europe say otherwise. They're all willing to dig in their heels and avoid this country like the plague.

Indefinitely.

Even if we elect (heh, like there'll be real elections going forward) someone else, this stain will stay with us for generations until people forget or forgive, and that's going to take time, if it ever happens in our lifetimes.

No shit. The whole "potentially being arrested and thrown into a concentration camp because you tweeted something the president doesn't like" thing kinda puts a damper on tourism.

do these experts get payed for these complex infos? any hiring?

Spoiler alert, it will last at least a few more years, possibly longer. Trump and his gestapo have made it clear that the US is closed for business as long as he's in charge. The next great depression is just getting started.

Who the fuck thought it was going to improve after summer?

uhhh yeah that's what we've been saying

we're not coming back. fuck you guys. give us a solid decade of excellent behaviour and make up for your threats to take us over, and we'll consider thinking about making a plan to return

It's appropriate that corporate barons in airlines, hotels and restaurant industries that have long funded Republicans for deregulation and union busting and poverty wages. They're now getting the full side of the coin which includes:

• their chosen party destroying perceptions of safety and desirability to popular tourist destinations by claiming they are warzones while he deploys precious military resources to create said zones,
• their chosen party arresting, deporting and discouraging the employment base of hotels and restaurants. No one else is going to do the work.
• their chosen party doing incalculable damage to the reputation of the US higher education system and it's reputation by removing science and academic freedom norms by trying to politicize science, admission and revoke the first amendment.
• their chosen party during travel into dystopian reality where social media accounts, your sexuality or your political beliefs determine how or whether you may be admitted to the US.

Airlines will be devastated with reduction in local (poverty wages, can't afford flights) and international travelers. Hotels will suffer as they should. I hope restaurant owners are decimated.

Have the economy and society you voted for you greedy, selfish, disgusting fucks.

Oh, we're not coming back.

As a US citizen, good. Our government will just keep being assholes unless people shun them (by taking away their money).

Tourists could also go to North Korea, but for some reason it doesn't draw crowds, I wonder why.

The World Travel & Tourism Council projected ahead of Memorial Day that the U.S. would be the only country among the 184 it studied where foreign visitor spending would fall in 2025.

I see... so this is what Makes America Great Again. Falling tourism spending.

A downturn in travel to the us may be temporary, but America can go fuck itself forever.

Years. If not decades. You did this to yourself.

Why would it? The problem is still there. Even if Trump was gone tomorrow the Republicans that put all this in motion would still be in charge.

It's going to take a new government, several arrests, a change of the constitution so that this can never happen again, and at least 10 years of stability before the world trusts the US again.

You don't say? America, are we tired of winning, yet?

Well that's what happens when the difference between you and North Korea is the quality of available Kimchi.

Good. This needs to happen. So the clueless can finally accept that the US isn't the best. We as a people think we are the best fighters. We are really the biggest losers. Except perhaps for one shining moment right after WWII. Then we decided to become the worlds peacekeeper and have consistently lost every conflict since then.

Come on tell me those that disagree. Tell me one we won like we won in Germany and Japan. Where we ended up will allies instead of more enemies.

We are gonna lose this fight. The tourist can go anywhere in the world why would they come here?

Lol who tf are these experts!?!? I coulda told you that for half the price!

Fucking duh.

What is wrong with people from abroad who don't want to be detained and cavity searched? In my day, this was the definition of a great vacation.

I'm not going to the US while the turd is still in charge

When douche sandwich gets in though, i'm going to disneyworld

jk, i've actually lost interest in the US entirely tbh

Who would want to go to a facist dictatorship run by a deranged pedofile game show host?

No shit! Every time I read an article like this, I wonder what alternate reality the author and target audience have been inhabiting.

duh. if congress does not act will last at least until 2030.

Good

Well, if Trump and his insane ideas last past the summer, the effects will last, too.

Insert Trump picture with subtitle "I did this".

I'm sure Nazi Germany never saw a downturn in foreign travel in the 1930's.
