You don’t say? America, are we tired of winning, yet?
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.
Morons And Genuine Assholes
MAGAts hate foreign tourists, they make the US locals feel poor.
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.
do these experts get payed for these complex infos? any hiring?
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.
Who wants to go to all the trouble of planning an expensive vacation, pay out a lot for tickets and hotels and such, only to get off the plane, and be refused entry because they are demanding to go through your social media?There goes your vacation, and your money.
Fuck it, if I’m European, we’re heading to Thailand or the Caribbean for the next few years.
Who the fuck thought it was going to improve after summer?
Wait until next summer when he is stoking riots in the streets of every American city so that he can declare Martial Law and suspend the mid-term election. I’m sure they’ll all want to come and watch that shit show.
Every month brings us closer to natural causes.
Oh, we’re not coming back.
We really don’t blame you
You should come over to Europe. We have nice food and democracy (in most places. Fuck Orban).
I don’t think Europe wants me, and the money it would take is likely ~15k? I will never have that much money in savings again, I briefly did when I was living with parents when I was younger but these days like… lol
Sounds nice, but I doubt I could replace the 13 wooded acres i own 60km from the nearest thing that has a right to call itself a city, and I value my seclusion.
Northern Europe is made up almost exclusively of forests and mountains. If you like warmer weather, you can buy an entire abandoned village in Portugal or Italy for pocket change.there are also extensive old growth Forrest’s all over central and eastern Europe.
But not live ther as getting a visa ia tricky :( you guys dont like immigrants either (i wanted to move from Australia)
Then why is every bartender from Maspalomas to Hammerfest Australian?

Sure you can.
Starting to sound better
You might find something in Norway.
Sounds cold. I’m in the state of Georgia. I’ll stay home and fight the fascists as best as I can. Someone needs to.
Norway is a pretty long country. The north and inland are cold in the winter. But the south west coast is pretty hospitable year round. Norway is generally a lot warmer than you’d expect. I’m up in the arctic and currently have sunflowers growing on my balcony.
It’ll last as long as the current administration holds power
That would be a start yes. But who’s to say that the new government will be stable, America could swing back to the right at any point. The rest of the world would need decades of stability to be convinced.
Thats a risk we have to take. Politicians at all levels lie to get votes. Perhaps we should have a lottery-type setup that randomly assigns govt offices to a random member of the public, as in someone not actively seeking it and isnt prone to telling everyone what they want to hear
I’m sure Nazi Germany never saw a downturn in foreign travel in the 1930’s.
Tha fuck ABC news? Did you expect a surge in visitors from Russia and North Korea to replace them by summer? What kind of shit reporting is this?
Tourists could also go to North Korea, but for some reason it doesn’t draw crowds, I wonder why.
As a US citizen, good. Our government will just keep being assholes unless people shun them (by taking away their money).
Same position, shut this shit down, it is going to be painful living inside it but it is absolutely necessary.
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
Well, if Trump and his insane ideas last past the summer, the effects will last, too.
Insert Trump picture with subtitle “I did this”.
No shit! Every time I read an article like this, I wonder what alternate reality the author and target audience have been inhabiting.
