Hotels are slashing World Cup rates as FIFA cancels tens of thousands of rooms.

FIFA projected its World Cup Tournament would inject the United States with a $30.5 billion economic (1) boost. With the start of the tournament just weeks away, some are questioning whether that prediction was accurate.

Hotels in 11 U.S. host cities are reportedly slashing room rates after the demand they anticipated failed to arrive (2). FIFA has already begun canceling tens of thousands of reserved rooms across the country, and industry insiders are pointing to a surge in anti-American sentiment — fueled in part by the current political climate — as a major driver of the shortfall.

Of course the left-leaning Moneywise article tries to blame Trump but the hotels should look inward given how they tried to fleece Cup goers in every blue city....Even the cities themselves as they tried outrageous city transport fares to the venues.

Then there is the hard fact that Americans don't really care for the third world sport.

Good, I hope it falls flat upon it's face.

Those games were not well attended back in the last ones they had here in Orlando. Folks were nice and no trouble but light attendance. No locals cared that it was being played here.
