Problem with this chart is it’s missing US visitors, so it doesn’t tell you all that much about the overall impact.
But man, the argument isn’t some grassroots boycott of the US tourism industry. The argument is that going to an authoritarian country with a mass incarceration habit when you don’t actually have to is a terrible idea. European countries are issuing travel warnings for people. ICE is detaining travellers with valid visas.
Just stay safe, the tourism industry boycott takes care of itself if you do.
I honestly can’t conceive of voluntarily traveling to the US if I lived elsewhere. Even if you have perfect knowledge of and adherence to the laws, there’s no guarantee ICE or CBP wouldn’t snatch you up and detain you for no good reason.
As someone who lives in the US, I don’t even want to travel outside, unless I’m planning on not coming back.
Same here. Who knows whether you’d be allowed back in unmolested, especially if you’ve ever said something against trump or pro Palestine.
Grew up in the US, live in Japan; zero chance I go unless someone’s dying.
Yeah, even as a citizen I don’t trust our border gestapo in the slightest.
Well that’s some useless labels at the bottom…
I will be curious ro see the numbers next year; Canada is yet to put a travel advisory on the US, I believe Mexico and parts of Asia and Africa have, and I know countries in Europe have. Fun and exciting times, I have never thought I would live in a time that there would be not one but two times traveling to the US was advised against, and they have both been in the 2020’s.
We have an unofficial word-of-mouth travel advisory in Canada. No one I know is going this summer after cancelling our bookings except for maybe Hockey Tournaments for their kids.
Even then I say good luck…
purely my personal opinion. but i think the impact that done on America’s Tourism are not affecting the “right people” directly. large amount of these trump supporter are in non-tourist area/town/city. it’s gonna take a while for the effect of tourism trickle down to them. (and by the time it hit them, they gonna blame something else and not realize tourism was the source)
Florida, Texas, Tennessee, Louisiana, Alaska, Nevada are the red states I imagine will lose the most from a drop in tourism, though many East and West Coast blue states will lose a lot too.
I think red stades will spiral downwards first. On the west is most likely LA, Bay area, and San Diego.
Bay area has their own set of problems,
I want to go to America, but only to visit the geography and a few specific cities like LA, New York and Miami. But I live almost the farthest place I could be from USA so essentially it takes 3 thousand dollars to go there half of that being a plane ticket.
Consider Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver instead. Canada has some great geography, too. (The view of Niagara Falls is better from the Canadian side, for instance.)
I understand geography but I’m not sure if I’m sold on the city side
Toronto and Montreal have restaurants that are better or equal to NYC. Broadway will come to Canada if you boycott. NYE sucks. The big Christmas tree, is not enough to “escape our own Christmas spirit”.
For weather, Mexico, Cuba, Carribean is warmer when you need it. Canada has best summers.
Why would you even want to go there now, as you can be imprisoned at any moment, and it could take weeks before you get out. With a little luck, you even end up in an El Salvador gang prison.
Everyone stay the fuck away and don’t contribute to our economy as much as you can manage. Our government thinks it doesn’t need anyone else for anything? Show them what that means.
