The Trump Effect On Tourism

Scarce, Crooks and Liars
Fri, 02/24/2017 - 6:17am

Apparently becoming known as a bastion for hate and intolerance is putting some tourists and business travellers off travelling to the United States. Who'd a thunk it? Frommer's, via Travel Weekly, has dubbed it the 'Trump Slump'. It's estimated the cost to New York City alone will be in the billions if this continues. Source: Frommer's Though they may differ as to the wisdom of the move, the travel press and most travel experts are of one mind: They are currently drawing attention to an unintended consequence of the Trump-led efforts to stop many Muslims from coming to the U.S., pointing to a sharp drop in foreign tourism to our nation that imperils jobs and touristic income. It’s known as the “Trump Slump.” And I know of no reputable travel publication to deny it. Thus, the prestigious Travel Weekly magazine (as close to an “official” travel publication as they come) has set the decline in foreign tourism at 6.8%.
