Good, who would want to visit Nazi Germany. Trump's admin has basically labeled anyone, not a Trumper, an enemy of the state, or is trying to label them as such.

It must be the fear of having to say thank you to everyone you meet there

Admittedly surprised. I thought it would be like the Bush years when they proclaimed their distaste of the US while still dreaming about living/visiting places like New York and LA.

Canada is down 70% including bookings for rest of year. Canadian also own a lot of snowbird property in US, and there's a large amount for sale.

Soon Trump will issue an executive order making it illegal not to visit the US. Everyone in the world not visiting the US because of boycott will be sent to a Salvadoran gulag.

U.K. has fallen by the least, which is disappointing to see.

Let's be honest, it's the most America coded European country

i have never understood why anyone would intentionally come to the US for tourism, especially from europe. all the good food, beautiful art and architecture, and historic artifacts are on your side of the atlantic already, why cross it?

There are definitely things worth seeing in the US. I think the best example is the national parks. Europe absolutely has protected parks, but we've got nothing on the same scale because there have been settled agricultural societies all over the continent for millennia. Our geography also simply doesn't include anywhere like Badlands or Grand Canyon parks, nor do our forests have anything like the giant redwoods.

Also while we have a tonne of interesting history and culture in Europe, different history and culture is a draw. I'm a fan of jazz and blues music and Cajun food, so I'd very much like to see New Orleans some day. The Puebloan Cliff Palace would be pretty great to see. I don't know much about most of the Native American societies in what is now the US, but I bet there are a lot of fascinating stories to hear.

I personally wouldn't choose to holiday to the US at the moment, but I can recognise its draws.

I used to visit once or twice a year. I don't have any plans any time soon to go back.
