Surprised?
Come ON!….
Trump & Co. ARE telling the WORLD ‘go take a hike’…..
Last month, the number of overseas visitors fell nearly 12 percent compared with the same time last year, according to data from the International Trade Administration, an agency under the U.S. Department of Commerce.
The downturn, after a 2 percent decline year-on-year in February, is the first meaningful drop since travel plummeted in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic.
If sustained, the decline could translate to billions of dollars in lost tourism revenue, industry experts project.
Some would-be travelers are nervous about the Trump administration’s policies. Others are enraged by his rhetoric. Some have doubts about their safety. The European Union has begun to issue its U.S.-bound officials burner phones, for fear of surveillance, the Financial Times reported.
“The reaction of international travelers to avoid the U.S. is entirely predictable,” said Adam Sacks, president of Tourism Economics, an industry research firm. “The combination of policy and rhetoric that has been so divisive and combative and isolationist — each successive policy and related polemics have been making the situation worse.”
The drop in visitors from certain countries and regions is especially stark…..
Note….
This IS a LOSS of Money folks….
