American hotels in trouble as tourists sour on visiting US
www.newsweek.com
Economic uncertainties and growing unease about travel to the U.S cast a long shadow over America's hotel industry in 2025.

Travel from Canada, once one of the most reliable markets for visitors, has plummeted this year, with Statistics Canada reporting a 36.9 percent and 25.8 percent drop in air and automobile return trips from the U.S. in July, respectively. In May, the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) projected that the U.S. would be the only country among 184 tracked economies to see a decline in international visitor spending in 2025.

    “If we do not turn things around to support the livelihood of millions of workers, and protect the trillions of dollars invested in millions of hospitality businesses, we run the risk of forcing many small and medium business owners to shut down.”

    Have you considered, perhaps, growing the fuck up as a culture and not jailing random visitors, harrassing anybody with skin darker than milk, and otherwise being general fucking shitheads?

    As a culture I mean. I know individuals aren’t all necessarily like that. Just enough of them were to put a sociopathic authoritarian into power.

      No, no see, we need to disappear more people whose skin is darker than milk because those people make all the tourists feel unsafe!

      I would shorten this quote:

      “If we do not […[ protect the trillions of dollars invested […], we run the risk of forcing many small and medium business owners to shut down.”

      If we do not protect the rich, we will force the poor to be unemployed.
