Travel Officials Just Admitted Trump Has DECIMATED The American Tourism Industry

Wow. 293.1 billion already this year? I hate to tell you. but a projection from a year or two ago doesn't prove anything.

Suck it up buttercup - you lost.

Is that your answer for everything? What does that have to do with that silly 2 year old projection not proving what you thought it proved? Hillary's loss didn't cover up your ignorance

Hillary lost too:

Last week, the GBTA Foundation released its latest quarterly U.S. business travel forecast. Get the lowdown on top-line numbers from our forecast here:

Still just a projection from before the election, and long before Trump was elected and caused millions of people around the world to protest. Long before he started trying to ban people from countries who have no history of terrorism against us. Long before that fool pissed off all our allies. Is any of this sinking in? Are there any sparks in your synaptic gaps yet?

It is no more or less of a prediction than the one claiming that the travel industry is headed for a long term downturn. Travel numbers for this month do not constitute a trend, end of story.

The GBTA link to the quarterly report disagrees with your analysis, but you probably know more about the topic than they do.

Travel Officials Just Admitted Trump Has DECIMATED The American Tourism Industry

By Marisa Manfredo
Published on February 24, 2017


The travel company Frommer’s has revealed the shocking effect Donald Trump’s election has had on tourism in America, an industry that contributed 1.47 trillion dollars to GDP in 2014. Frommer’s reports that,

“Experts across the travel industry are warning that masses of tourists are being scared away from visiting the United States, and the loss of tourism jobs could be devastating.”


The phenomenon is being called the ‘Trump Slump’ because it is a direct result of Trump’s election and policies, most notably his now defunct ‘Muslim-ban’ which blocked travelers from seven majority-Muslim countries. Tourism from the countries that were affected is down 80% despite the ban being lifted.

Even countries without a significant Muslim population are sending fewer tourists. Right now all foreign tourism is down nearly 7%. Online searches for flights from foreign countries to America have fallen by 17%, according to Frommer’s.

This is not restricted to holiday-makers. During the first week of the Muslim-ban foreign business travel dropped by an astounding 185 million dollars. European flight searches for the United States have dropped by 11.6%, according to Forbes.

If this trend continues, the U.S. will lose billions of dollars of foreign tourism and hundreds of thousands of American jobs in industries ranging from restaurants and hotels to transportation and stores.

Trump is a epic failure

Yeah, it's looking so bad Warren Buffett bought 1.3 billion in airline stock.

Warren Buffett, the famous value investor who had spent 25 years decrying airline investing, recommitted to the industry in November.


In a Securities and Exchange Commission filing on Nov. 14, Buffett's firm disclosed that during the third quarter it acquired airline shares valued on Sept. 30 at about $1.3 billion. American shares accounted for about $800 million.

Here's Why Airline Stocks May Soar Even Higher in 2017
