You think this wasn't part of the plan? Crash the economy, then use the bad economy as a rationale to impose deep austerity and privatization.

Plus, it's easier to commit atrocities against your citizens when the free world can't see. Wealthy Russians and Saudis will still visit.

As a US citizen I'm nervous to do international tourism as well after hearing so many people get detained at the border. It's crazy.

Anyone who willingly goes to the Untied States is a fool

Are americans, both left and right, still believing that their dear leader is a business genius? I think an elementary school grade 2 committee would do better.

I believe 6 of them did, but it was the 80's.

Bizarre AI photo at the top, no author byline, no link to the source of the data (if there is one), no specific report mentioned, just "the latest analysis".

This looks to me like an AI-generated article where someone either prompted it to "summarize" a real report or else it hallucinated a report based on whatever supposedly relevant internet news it's eaten recently.

Going to the site that comes up for a search for World Travel & Tourism Council and looking around on it, I don't see a report on this topic.

Why would you not want to visit a fascist hell-hole where human rights don't exist, the rule of law has broken down, and you can be abducted, imprisoned without charge or deported at any moment just for the crime of being foreign?

While in here US citizens can freely come and go as they please… unfair, to say the least.

There have been far too many examples of ICE detaining law biding citizens at this point. I'm a US citizen and I don't even want to travel too far.

Who gets the worse end of that? All things considered I'd much rather have a free country to come home to.

JFC that fucking pisspoor AI photo they used. I fucking hate the future so much.
