"Nearly half of Utah's foreign tourism comes from this country, and they're not coming this year"

[Swede]

Lol, eh?

For more than a third of her life, Tina Hunt has made a tradition of visiting the Southwest for her birthday. When the 59-year-old started daydreaming about this year’s 10-day trip last fall, she felt called to return to St. George, where she and her husband enjoy mountain biking, hiking and sightseeing.
Yet when the Vancouver, Canada, residents boarded the plane in April, it was bound for Costa Rica. And at no point would they touch down on United States soil. Hunt made sure of that.
“Just with the things going on, we thought, ‘Nope,’” Hunt said. “We’re just part of those Canadians who are ‘Nope. Not until things change.’”

1. Kick

[Raven123]

2. And I suspect "things change" means more than canceling tariffs

We are just beginning to feel damage by done by TACO’s administration

3. Fascistic Isolationism,... isn't it grand ?

Thank You djt !

Tourism $$$ projected down over 60% - 2025.
Many innkeepers and restaurateurs fail to survive the significant dip in seasonal income, business operations fold.

13. International or just domestic?

International tourists spent ~$155 billion last year. And tourism us ~$2.5 trillion. Even a 20% cut in that will really hit as tourism is labor intensive.

4. Good. I appreciate their support of our resistance.

The only thing that matters to a lot of voters is the money in their bank accounts. They have to learn the hard way, I guess.

5. Indeed. And doubt it is just Canadians. I wonder if there are any stats of airline and other travel industry data?

I have to hope that if the EU appetite for Teslas has crashed, travel to the US may have as well.

[DFW]

20. As for those Teslas.........How Much Is That Tesla In The Window?

[UpInArms]

6. FAFO Utah

TFG opens pie hole … shit falls out … there will be fallout

[Grins]

11. Agree. They voted for this. Let them enjoy the "benefits." NM

[ananda]

17. It's interesting to see what Magats thought tariffs were...

along with "border" control.

Those two things alone would cause people to stay away.

Then add the fascism and the desire to annex other
countries, and that just multiplies it greatly.

7. Let's go see the Mormon Temple

[Wounded Bear]

8. The repub immigration solution: make the US a 3d world shithole nobody wants to come to...

Right on schedule.

[Ninga]

9. Thank you for posting! And. Thank you Canada!

[Martin68]

10. Stupid Trump. Stupid Americans.

[IronLionZion]

12. I'm sure blue states would welcome tourists

but I get the point of why they are avoiding USA as a whole due to our idiotic administration's hostility to all foreigners. It's very disappointing for the communities who depend on tourist revenue.

[Vogon_Glory]

14. If I were a foreign tourist fearful of harassment or jailing by

US customs or immigration agents, I might wish the more tolerant and enlightened voters and officials of blue states well, but I’d still take my holiday in another country, not the USA.

Looking backward at President Joe’s administration, one of my beefs is that President Joe was too much of an institutionalist. He should have sent in a cadre of hard-eyed, bloody-minded inspectors and cut out the rot left behind by Trump One instead of leaving it there to surge anew.

[Hekate]

15. Red or blue, ICE is in all 50 states, and they are nasty business

[Exp]

16. Why St. George? Moab isn't too, too far from there and waaay more interesting. nt

[gordianot]

18. Great news even the trash shows at Branson are down in revenue.

FAfO at its finest.

[Cha]

19. I missed this news... Love Canadians who

don't rake shit from the Fascist Fraud in the WH.
