US Government: “Foreigners are not welcome here!”
Foreigners: stop coming here
US Government: surprised Pikachu
To be fair, Japan is doing pretty much the exact same thing, and tourism to Japan in 2026 dropped by only 2.6% so far compared to 2025, as per their own tourism statistics.

Tourism in Nazi Germany was fine for the most part, too.
You have to remember that tourists are, generally speaking, richer people, since poor people just can’t afford to travel. And statistically speaking, as you grow richer, you care less about people, the world, anything really.
As we’ve clearly seen with the recent Fifa World Cup.
Is Japan being hostile to foreigners now any more than usual, though?
Also Japan has culture what does America have to offer?
Yes. After all that is going down in Nazi America it was the price of fuel being too high that is the reason I have been hearing for Snow birds not going this year. Thanks Obama.
Only 50% of 2019 levels. Surprised it’s even that high.
The World Cup is my guess
I don’t understand how anybody at all still voluntarily goes to the Untied States
As a Canadian, this really warms my heart, thank you!
Canada gooses takin’ Canada deuces.
Who would have thought that a GeStaPo randomly taking potential non-Americans off the street and and putting them in concentration camps could lead to tourists looking for safer destinations?
After all the hassle for PLAYERS AND OFFICIALS for the World Cup, nobody should be even mildly shocked about this
I am. I am shocked people are still going.
Detaining a number of the visitors at the border certainly didn’t help.
Not just detained, but strip searching teenage girls.
That story resonated through Europe.
Sir, a second Trump presidency has hit the US.
“We’re the only major country in the world losing visitation,” the head of the US Travel Association said. “It’s mind-boggling.”
I’m trying to imagine the mindset where it can possibly be mind-boggling. They drank the MAGA Kool Aid?
Good. The Untied States needs to feel consequences
You’re not missing out on much.
I was hoping the title would say, ‘Decline in tourism SLAMS US economy’.
How would a decline in tourism voice mild criticism of the US economy?
DESTROYS would be a tad on the nose
Partly self-inflicted??? PARTLY???
America: come for the sights; stay because you don’t have a key to the four-by-four chicken wire cage you’re pissing blood in after being repeatedly smashed in the kidneys with a rifle butt.
I’m genuinely 50% or more sure they wouldn’t let me in at the border. Would be a waste of flight tickets. I love the actual land under US jurisdiction but don’t actually want to visit that shit show right now.
I think the US is visually stunning and I really wanna see the national parks and Big Sur and go to Oregon and see awe inspiring beauty of that state. Just a major case of fascism makes go yuck. No thanks.
Canada is alternative option. British Columbia has similar geography to Oregon and we likewise have national parks. There’s lots of regions where Canada and US each have complementary national parks on the border with hiking trails that cross the border into each other’s parks. I don’t know how those are being managed under the current state of affairs however.
Rest of America is beautiful too, just avoid the fascist countries, you won’t be able to see it all in a lifetime either way.
Every set of policy decision has its winners and losers. It really feels like everyone other than the grifter-in-chief and his pals are losing now though.
A lot of the pals aren’t even winning. It’s mostly just trump becoming richer.
“His pals”
The biggest companies on Earth. Trump is superfluous, like a tumor.
Remember Trump’s victory celebration? Bezos, Musk, Gates, Zuckerberg, they were all ecstatic.
Watch, I think they’ll be on the stage whomever wins the presidency, because corporations are people and dollars are free speech.
These court decisions are precedent, they are now the law of the land. To rescind Supreme Court decisions we must have a constitutional convention. But we can’t even agree on bathrooms.
So, doom it is
ya but didnt they just rescind Roe V Wade?
cant it go both ways?
