[quote=Anonymous]It's the economy. I just spent three weeks in the UK, and tourism is down there. August is always busy, but the tour guides and those in business I talked to all said it wasn't nearly as busy as in the past. My anecdotal experience backs it up -- there was no line to see the Crown Jewels at the Tower, etc.

FWIW, I had exactly one conversation about Trump while there, and the gist of it was "like his policies, don't like the way he goes about it." In contrast, every Scot we spend any time with independently started ranting about how pissed they are about the development of wind power etc in Scotland only to see the benefits shipped South.  Immigration and green policies have reached a breaking point there. FWIW, Keir Starmer's approval rating is 13%. Thirteen. Percent.

Also, fwiw, Florida had a record number of visitors this summer, and overseas visitors were up. The doom and gloom about tourism comes from Vegas, which has priced itself out of the market and lost its luster with the non-Boomers, who are going to do their gambling on line.

To be honest, I did talk to a Canadian in Scotland who said that they chose not to send their son to camp in the US this summer after the election, but then she said "But that seems silly now."
