Don't know about others states, but in my state there is something called HOT (hotel occupancy tax) that many small nonprofit venues rely for part of their yearly funding. Less tourists means less hot means less funding.
People and teams from other countries not wanting to come here means every job that relies on tourism is taking a major hit.
