This article is a bunch of fluff. Do we have any data to support the claim that tourism is down? What are the projected losses based on?
There's multiple reports over multiple weeks showing declines of 15-25% in automobile crossings at the Canada/USA borders. Some flights have reduced frequency as well.
E.g
https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/article/land-border-crossings-into-the-united-states-down-by-hundreds-of-thousands-data-shows/
https://www.ctvnews.ca/business/article/these-airlines-paused-or-cancelled-canada-us-flights-in-the-wake-of-the-trade-war/
Now, I can't speak to losses, and this is only from Canada, but it's not nothing either.
Data from our may long weekend last week will probably be out soon as well.
Interesting, looks up we are up from February. The more meaningful data will come over the summer months. Worth watching.
I mean, I do have to concede that multiple accounts of abuse by TSA and border patrol, including solitary confinement without charge, plus many countries issuing a travel warning for America isn't 'data and projected losses'...
IDK why they don't link to the actual report they're referencing but it appears they've been a real player in travel/tourism data for several decades.
