Down almost 5% from western Europe in 2025. I thought (hoped?) that the drop would have been bigger.
Most vacations have been booked half a year in advance, give it a year and the drop will be massive.
doubt. the ignorance of most of the population about what is going on in the US is infinite
I guess in a few weeks we are gonna be hearing how somebody, from western europe, was again detained by ice
These sickos most likely have a country bingo card.
Yeah... "just" 5% is really not much. I was hoping 50% or something 😮
You wouldn’t get me visiting the US of A if you beat me with a goddamn stick.
That's not how it works, you have to go there first to get beaten with the stick.
Do I have to bring the Stick? And can I keep the Stick afterwards?
You get the stick on a subscription plan. If you pay for the premium plan it is upgraded to have nails and a flag on it.
I am not visiting the US in this lifetime anymore.
I'm hoping to visit some of the successor states after they balkanize
Aww come on, we can do better. Next target 100 Billy.
I read somewhere a batch of South Africans are heading there. /s
I read something about taking up Trump's asylum offer was only interesting for people without money, since if you have money you have land and leaving that behind will likely mean it gets squatted. Not sure how true that actually is, but if it is they're not gonna mean much for income from tourism.
I had meant as sarcasm. It is very hard to convey it in a text only medium. Sorry.
I got the sarcasm, chose to respond as if it weren't 😬
You mean Trump is bad for business?
If only an entire lifetime of facts supporting that claim were available to the public...
