This will get exponentially larger as trips further out were cancelled over the winter and spring.

International tourists detained at U.S. borders. Steep tariffs imposed on trade partners. Threats against longtime allies.

The onslaught of contested policies and language by the Trump administration in recent weeks is causing tourists around the globe to either cancel or reconsider travel to the United States. A growing number of visitors say they feel unwelcome or unsafe and are reluctant to support the economy of a country that some foreign officials say is waging trade wars and destabilizing its allies. A draft of a new travel ban circulating through the administration could restrict citizens from up to 43 countries, including Belarus, Cambodia and St. Lucia, from entering the United States.

“So many Americans are looking to escape the tense and toxic atmosphere at home. Why would anyone want to visit, especially right now with all the arbitrary detentions at immigration?” said Mallory Henderson, 53, a marketing consultant in London who usually visits the United States twice a year, but canceled a trip to visit her brother and niece in Boston this Easter.

“It’s a really hostile and scary time, and quite frankly, there’s plenty of other inviting and pleasant places I can go to meet up with my family,” she said.

It's worth a read - not just anecdotes, but data showing tourism down.

I know, great, right? Who needs tourism! Other than it bringing $2.3 trillion to the US economy - or not!

So the new travel ban is out - https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/06/restricting-the-entry-of-foreign-nationals-to-protect-the-united-states-from-foreign-terrorists-and-other-national-security-and-public-safety-threats/
I didn’t see a thread on it, but can someone please explain how we can host the Olympics and the World Cup with this in place?

The Olympics and World Cup are specifically excluded. Other international sporting events were not. We'll find out what this means soon enough because there's a dozen or so players on Club World Cup rosters from the inmpacted countries.

Why would anyone believe that? Trump and maga hate these people and do not want them in the country,

They’re expanding the travel ban. Basically no one can come here from Africa or the Caribbean. WTF.

So basically no Black people can enter the US?

Well they can come in if they have passports from Western European countries, maybe.

Canadian Visitors to U.S. Plummet for 6th Straight Month

“The volume of Canadians taking road trips into the U.S.—the means by which most Canadians visit—dropped by 33% last month compared to June 2024, following a 38% drop in May,” Forbes reports.

I'm an Australian and there is no fking way I'm getting on a plane to the US now. Despite visiting four times in the last ten years.

I wouldn’t visit either if I were Australian. Lots of other great places to visit where you don’t have to worry about being swooped up and placed in detention by masked, unidentified stormtroopers.

It's better to visit Europe with its nuclear threat of Ukraine / Russia bloodbath. Irradiation and migrant crime is important to support plus it's attractive.

Indeed. No one's arresting you at the border and throwing you in unsanitary detention for no good reason, like they do to foreign tourists in the US.
