Transatlantic airfares slump as Western Europeans skip US travel over Trump
-
The US is gigantic we've got something for everyone here. In particular there are massive national forests with trails of any size you can think of (the Palouse Cascades trail goes from Seattle all the way to Idaho it's 300 miles long, the Appalachian trail takes months to hike the full distance). We've also got a lot of different cultures to explore, foods to eat, and history to see.
For sure don't come here currently our government is dangerous and we don't deserve tourist money. There are lots of reasons why someone might want to come to the US though.
Hike the Appalachian trail and look at all the trash then get rocky mountain spotter fever or that disease that makes you allergic to red meat from ticks. Then get murdered by a lunatic or robbed at gunpoint.

But the countries that come after what used to be the USA might be nice.
Yeah the Indepedent Republic of California would be a nice place to visit after they deport all of the the ICE goons.

There's trash everywhere in the nature areas.
What nature areas are you going to? The US sucks for a lot of reasons you can pick from. No need to make stuff up too

Come to Canada. We have cool nature too but without the risk of being detained for no reason.
I'd definitely come to Canada over the U.S as it stands today.
In another time, if the U.S manages to beat their fascism-issue, I'd like to go there as well.

Transatlantic airfares have dropped to rates last seen before the pandemic, data shows, the latest sign that fewer Europeans are traveling to the U.S. due to concerns about U.S. border controls and Donald Trump's policies.
The trend could extend into and beyond the summer holiday period, typically the busiest time for airlines and travel companies.
Overseas arrivals to the United States fell 2.8% in May from a year ago, according to preliminary data from the U.S. National Travel and Tourism Office within the U.S. Department of Commerce. Travel from Western Europe fell 4.4% in May, led by a decline in travelers from Denmark and Germany.
First: deport European tourists, fuck up several times with other deportations to El Salvador concentration camps or African war zone....
"Why don't Europeans come here, do you see how Europe just uses us by emptying American tourists' wallets while not traveling here in return? Europe sucks!"

Why would you want to go to the US?

Most people book this kind of holiday a year in advance. The people still coming to the US booked their holidays last year. There's going to be an enormous impact by next year.
I love the US, spent a lot of time there, worked there for years, I have family there. I'm not going back until Trump is gone and there is some kind normality returned - which might be a long time.

I lived there pre 9/11 for a time, never going back and that's as a cis straight white Gen X dude from Australia.

The Acadian Union (or whatever New England and the tri-state area become) should be pretty cool too.

Go to any national or state park, guaranteed trash everywhere.

Tell me you've never been to a national park without telling me you've never been to a national park
Of all the opportunities I've had to tell someone to touch grass this one is the most fitting. Fam I'm sorry you've forgotten to go outside but self care is important and I think you could benefit from touching grass

I've been to 3 in the last year. Sounds like you haven't been to any lately.
