Buy European

I wanted to visit before the collapse, but it didn't work out for multiple reasons.

Now I'm doubly sad that I didn't go. Because if I would indeed decide to go now, it would be a coin toss if a random typo in some papers would land me in a gulag

Well people don't want to be sold into slavery to El Salvador. Big surprise!

I don't blame anyone, there is no need to personally see the circus that is our country currently. Watch the circus from stands unless you want to be a part of it.

I won't set foot on US soil again as long as Trump or any other conservative is running this country.

It's not even just about how you get shafted at the border nowadays. I simply don't want to visit a country that is ruled by misanthropic fascists.

And I think that many people will probably feel the same way.

Those charts are soon going to look a lot worse. I know of many people who had already paid for their vacation before the tariffs were announced, so they went anyway. New bookings for flights from Canada to the U.S. are down over 70%.

i really hope the majority of countries boycott the 2028 games and don't show up in la.

Only 20 to 30%?

If you enjoy the risk of getting suddenly jailed NK or Iran are way better.

My country is vast. My country is huge. My country is beautiful and welcoming too. My country won’t jail you because of your thoughts. My country is Canada 🇨🇦 and we have amazing vacationing spots.

I don't blame any non-American for staying out of the insanity soup going on here.

Even as a middle age, "white privilege" guy, I'm concerned about traveling outside the U.S. and coming back through immigration. I'm liberal, protester, and strongly anti-Maga on the socials.

Yeah, I don't want to get detained for a week and sent to el salvador.

no shit, dont want to have some border police going through my phone and putting me on detention only to deport me back later

That whole "throwing people in jail for weeks for thought crime" thing isn't as inviting as Trump thinks, apparently.

All those ungrateful tourists that can't stand the idea of getting mistakenly deported into a High Security Salvadoran prison and then being left to rot there because 'yeah, it's kinda annoying but we can't get him back, you know'.

If I were the all-mighty orange dude, I would put a 146% tax on every single tourist that is refusing to come spend their money in the USA! They're nothing but traitors! They should pay! And maybe I would invade their country, to show the world who's the boss.

I'm worried of traveling outside of the US because that means I have to come back in through the borders again and be subjected to invasive searches

"People not coming to the US on vacation will be labelled as foreign terrorists. They're doing great harm to a tremendous American industry." - Trump, probably

Quite literally, as this is going on, Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida is trying to convince everyone in the state that it would be a really good idea to just... massively reduce, if not entirely get rid of property taxes.... and base government revenue off of higher sales taxes... on tourists.

Florida is ... almost certainly the US state with the highest proportion of its economy/tax revenue ... tied to tourism.

I struggle to comprehend this level of stupidity, to the point that I am more inclined to believe DeSantis is just trying to make himself king of a rapidly economically declining and literally sinking fiefdom.

Agriculture and fishing? scared all the immigrants away.

Tourism? tanking.

Property values? also tanking.

Property insurance? fleeing the state, no more mortgages.

Uh uh what do what do?

Tax break!

If Dems get the epithet 'tax and spend', Reps get the epithet 'Slash and burn'.

What a fucking moron.

I wonder how low it will go. I was tentively planning a holiday trip to New York and another to a conference in Chicago. Both of which are totally off the cards having seen the horror stories of people having their phones searched, refused entry and even being detained for extended periods without justification.

Instead, I think I'm going to finally make a long wished trip to Canada.

I do feel sorry for those working in the US tourism and hospitality industry. It's hardly well paid work and often filled by new migrants and the young / students. It won't start recovering until the craziness of ICE abates but it's the sort of damage that is fast to take place and takes a long time to heal once it's reversed - and a reversal isn't even on the cards for the foreseeable future.

Disneyland tickets are now affordable?

Totally understandable, a lot of us who live here wish we didn't right now.

I feel bad for the Olympic organizers. Good luck luring tourists to the Olympics.

European tourism to the USA in free fall

That is what you get when you transport your tourism in a Boeing plane.

Yeah I haven't even seen enough amazing places in my own country let along mainland where there's actual history,good unprocessed food,sun,cycling adventures,cheese rolling down hills... Why would I need to go to Stroad Walmart

I'm an American who has traveled to Europe a few times since Trump. I talked with a few Europeans about our president and all but one were not shy about disliking Trump. The only exception was a polish man who honestly seemed like not the greatest guy. MRA type from my interactions with him. Trump is more unhinged than ever so I wouldn't travel here. I absolutely think about the politics of a place and how it could contribute to things going wrong when I travel abroad, so I get it
