Thats what happens when you’re a bunch of cunts
And not good ones like Australian cunts
Yep. And also people not wanting to get human trafficked out to South Sudan or El Salvador.
Yeah…thats covered under being a bunch of cunts. Only a cunt would do that.
It is risky to come here. You anything besides English and you could be having to deal with ICE and get kidnapped.
More so for people with families. Individuals might be prepared to risk it but no one with kids is likely to.
The Trump Regime has made it widely known that absolutely no one is safe visiting the United States. They’ve made travel by Americans, to American destinations questionable, based on ICE antics.
Does America want a healthy tourism industry? Then they’d better get busy smashing fascism.
As it stands, it is simply not advisable to travel to the United States.
“They’ve made travel by Americans, to American destinations questionable, based on ICE antics.” I think the appropriate word instead of antics is atrocities.
The Trump Regime has made it widely known that absolutely no one is safe
visitingin the United States.FTFY
No idea why a European would ever want to come here. The travel options there are much better and cheaper. Oh and you won’t get thrown into a foreign prison.
Throwing aside the current administration… There’s so much to see in the US. All the national parks and other sights. It’s a roadtripper’s dream. One of the most diverse countries as far as landscape and climate is concerned. We have Disneyland in Europe (Paris), but there’s Disney World in Florida which is way bigger (never been to either, not THAT big of a fan myself, but I know there’s loads of Disney fans). NYC, LA and SF are all great cities to visit I hear, though I’ve only been to NYC (lots of fun - there’s so much to discover just by walking around)
Now as a foreigner I’m slightly scared of the current admin despite being pasty white, so I’m not going to visit again anytime soon. But one day I would like to come back for sure. Until then… I do still have a LOT of Europe to discover as well, I’ve only spent any real time in my neighboring countries, others I’ve visited very briefly.
Slightly off topic, but If you have the time to travel; may I suggest looking into Interrail if you’re not already aware of it. An interrail pass would be the European equivalent to an american road trip imo.
One train ticket helped me cover places like Portugal, Spain, and Italy, all the way through to Switzerland and onto Hungary, Poland etc and back home all over the course of two weeks.
I was backpacking solo, so just looked up hostels in whatever city i ended up in on the day. But you could just as easily use it to plan a family itinerary. The actual ticket lasts a lot longer than a fortnight too; I’m just a slave to the machine and couldn’t get more time off.
I will once they finally build rail baltica lol, otherwise I’d need to fly anyway, or drive which makes luggage more convenient
All those national parks are on the chopping block too now. Unless major changes happen it won’t be worth visiting in 10 years.
Throwing aside the current administration…
That’s not true, I noped out after they want pants on head insane after 9/11, you’re just seeing that amped up now. People just normalised it as they will this.
I spent quite a bit of time there and lived their briefly early this century but havent been back since.
There’s so much to see in the US.
Agreed but the worlds big place and lots to see
It’s a roadtripper’s dream.
Or nightmare because you’re forced to use a car, train travel is laughable and walkabilty is ridiculous in most places.
But to be fair for environmental and carbon emission reasons I don’t fly anymore and try not to drive unless it’s essential.
Aside from politics, the US has a ton to offer for someone that wants to experience the world. The Rockies, Appalachian trail, Great plains, deserts, huge rivers and lakes, and a bunch of other natural beauties. Not that mountains and bodies of water don’t exist elsewhere, but when it comes to nature, there’s something for anyone that likes being out doors.
From a tourist side of things, places like Disney World, Universal, Las Vegas, New York City, and others just don’t have the same thing elsewhere. I’m more into the nature side, but lot’s of people really enjoy the big cities and amusement parks. The Rockies also offer some of the best snowboarding and skiing in the world, and there’s only 1 Appalachian trail.
Too bad politics makes all of that less safe for foreigners and is actively enshitifying nature.
I had a Finnish friend visit me in LA a few months ago and he had an absolute blast. There are still plenty good people and things to do and see in the US.
I live in the US and I still haven’t visited LA. The US is fun but right now we are just “not cool”.
Oh definitely not. We’re blisteringly uncool sadly
Anecdotal: traveling to the smoky mountains and rented some bicycles. Owner said rentals are down 30% compared to this time last year.
Tourism is down? No shit!
I’m in a situation where I might have to travel with a group of students, and big boss is dead set on the US. We’re talking overtime, plane tickets, car rental, hotel, and a per diem. But still I’m resigning before I’ll go to the US right now. If ICE or CBP sees 10% of the stuff I’ve said about TACO, and politics in general, online, I’d be lucky to just get shipped home.
Meanwhile, Taco is literally attacking the 4th largest economy in the world and yammering on about tariffs again.
I just don’t know how the market is still (relatively) up. I think when the crash does come, it’s going to be so rough.
The market is running on cocaine, hate, and broken dreams. Just give it time, and it’ll be a hell of a crash.
Cocaine, Hate and Broken Dreams is what netflix should name the documentary about the upcoming market crash
Ketamine, Kamps and Krash
The market is running on cocaine, hate, and broken dreams.
As mentioned by many, the “market” is just a graph of rich people’s feelings. Everything he’s done so far is helping rich people.
exactly. not only is it mainly made of their money with whatever retirement and such from those doing better in the middle being a pittance in comparison but they also aren’t really investing and just holding it there because there is no real other option. Meanwhile as wealth disparity gets worse less of the regular folk even have anything in it. So it goes up because people who have money don’t have anywhere else to put it. Should be interesting once we see the us market doing poorly while europe and asia do alright or if the bond markets falls apart.
My point still stands lol
And Project 2025 is the blueprint for it (with fascism woven throughout).
the dollar is down
that effects valuation
I am not doubting, but I am surprised that the article does not even mention Israel. I can’t see their tourism growing this year
I’m equally perplexed. So tourism to places like North Korea or places in active war like Libya or South Sudan have gone up?
During the civil war in the usa in the 1800s, locals would leave their house, bring a blanket, and a picnic basket. They would sit on top of a hill, and watch the battle, like it was entertainment.
Maybe that’s making a comeback?
But if we included those countries we wouldn’t be able to condemn America with our shocking but false headline.
I don’t have exact numbers so I’ll make up a few to illustrate why you may be wrong about the headline.
Imagine the tourism levels in the USA were at 70% at the beginning of the year and now they’re at 30%. That’s a 40% decrease in tourism.
Now imagine the tourism levels in South Sudan were at 2% at the beginning of the year (keep in mind they’re an active war zone) and they’re at 1% now. That’s only a 1% decrease.
Now do you see how the USA could have the largest decrease in tourism this year?
North Korea has just built a beach resort. https://www.theguardian.com/world/gallery/2025/jul/07/kim-jong-un-opens-beach-resort-north-korea-in-pictures
Yeah, in fairness, NK would make more sense, tbh. It’s been so closed off for so long, that it increasing tourism after opening to it a few years back isn’t that surprising. But my point still stands regarding other countries that are extremely dangerous/even worse than the US in terms of safety.
I suspect it’s unchanged from its already low number in those places.
To be fair, hard to decline when it’s already low. Even if they did include Israel or other countries mentioned in the replies, it’s still totally possible their tourism isn’t lower this year than last. Especially places where it was already pretty much 0 or statistically insignificant. Not declining doesn’t mean it went up, just means it’s at least the same percentage it was last year.
The Gaza shore is lovely this time of year, would be nice to visit if not for ALL THE GENOCIDE!!!
It’s because Israel is one of the USA. It was a clarity moment.
Israel has had a ceasefire for a bit. Unlike last year, when it was fighting all the time.
But I don’t remember their airports being closed last year, like they have this time. Last year they were bombing the sh#t out of Gaza. This year they have had some hits themselves.
Personally, I’d have thought that Israel itself would have been a more dangerous place this year than last
The airports were only closed for like two weeks during the war against Iran.
That said. I know two people who have visited friends in Israel this year. Only one of them had to go a shelter.
June saw a 42% collapse due to airport closures. The probably more important number is that 2023 tourism was more then three times higher then it was this year.
Israel‘s tourism is in a pretty bad slump. https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-859360
About 250,000 people in Israel work in the tourism industry, and tourism makes up 2.8% of the Israeli economy, Aronson said. She noted that 2019 was the record year for incoming tourism, with 4.6 million tourists. In 2024, there were about 1 million tourists, and 2025 will probably see about 1.3 million by the end of the year.
According to Ben Ari, one reason tourists don’t come is that they can’t get travel insurance for Israel.
People from countries that have warnings about traveling to Israel can’t get insurance, Aronson said. She added that the ministry is working with foreign governments to reduce travel warnings.
pretty sure a majority of small (and large tbh) business owners who rely on tourism voted for exactly all the bullshit going on right now. they can go fuck themselves
Majority of small, 100% of large.
I don’t know about 100%. I doubt the companies that do a lot of manufacturing in China were big on Trump… even if they tried to buy him off by donating to his inauguration.
His trade policies were always going to be bad for business.
Bad for business, but perhaps not as bad for the rich business owners that can capitalize on the market chaos a bit without even pretending to contribute to actual productivity.
I guess. But the people who benefitted the most on that were loyalists who supported the grift.
I bet a lot of the rich voted for him, but you’re always going to have the Mark Cubans and Tim Cooks of the country. People that are pretty clearly giving more money to democratic side of the aisle.
True enough, there are some rich people that aren’t onboard with it, but there’s just room for some other rich people to suceed even as their business suffers.
And then double dip on a recovery.
But certainly, there’s room for both, so that’s why it’s not quite as mind numbingly stupid that some of the billionaires are on board.
It’s a bit dangerous to come to the states right now
Especially if you hate cheeto and complain about him online.
They arbitrarily imprison tourists and then are surprised nobody wants to risk being imprisoned
Imagine risking being disappeared into a concentration camp just for the chance to see the Jersey Shore.
If it’s between being disappeared or going to the Jersey Shore, then sign me up to be kidnapped.
American here. I wouldn’t want to visit here either. I do Nazi this as a good destination spot.
so clearly you’re doing something about it, right?
Clearly doing as much as you are
Have the
dayfour yearsdeath of freedom, liberty, and prosperity you voted for, Americans.
Listen, ketamine billionaires goin around distributing presidency is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not some farcical ignorant ceremony.
I am surprised Alligator Auschwitz Concentration (soon to be death) Camp has not been touted as a tourist attraction by the white house yet.
Aren’t they selling t-shirts? It would not surprise me if a few dumbasses from outside the country would want to visit the place…
Yes. A lot of places are already selling shirts, both for and against it. Here are some images of them.
Like the Florida GOP.
