Tourists Not “Welcome” in USA

The USA is losing a lot of money because people from other countries “don’t feel welcome here” according to AFP reports.

“Since September 11, 2001, the United States has experienced a 17 percent decline in overseas travel, costing America 94 billion dollars in lost visitor spending, nearly 200,000 jobs and 16 billion dollars in lost tax revenue.”"Travelers around the world feel the US entry experience is among the world’s worst.”

Perhaps the dollar will lose so much value that it’ll become a travel bargain that’s too good for tourists to resist, no matter how unwelcome they’re made to feel. {Then again, there’s always the matter of our president who is not universally loved the world over}. Link
