do any of the cultists know about this?

....... International inbound travel to the U.S. fell 4.8% in January compared to the previous year, marking the ninth straight month of decline in foreign visitation, according to data released Thursday by the U.S. Commerce Department's National Travel and Tourism Office (NTTO). Last month, the U.S. saw steep declines in visitors from Asia (down 7.5%) and Europe (down 5.2%) year over year, according to the data. A 22% year-over-year decline in Canadian travelers cost the American economy $4.5 billion in 2025—and they show no sign of returning in 2026. Airline bookings from Europe to the U.S. for the peak of summer are down over 14% year-over-year, according to data from Cirium, a leading provider of aviation analytics. Sebastian Ebel, chief executive officer of TUI, Europe’s largest travel agency, told analysts on a recent earnings call that the company sees “good demand for the Middle East, for Asia” but “less good demand for the U.S.” This week on the Air France-KLM airline group’s earnings call, Steven Zaat, the company’s chief financial officer, noted soft demand from Northern European countries to the U.S., adding, “If you look at how popular the U.S. is currently in those countries, it is at a very, very low level.” How Bad Was The First “trump Slump”? During President Trump’s first term, the U.S. experienced a 4% drop in international visitation in the first seven months of 2017, according to NTTO data. The travel industry quickly dubbed the decline a “Trump Slump,” attributing the decline to the president's America First anti-immigrant rhetoric and more restrictive visa rules for some countries. By spring of 2017, “Trump Slump” was appearing regularly in headlines in NBC News, the BBC and other news outlets. Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, the economic boost the U.S. received from international tourists was lackluster but not in decline. Comparing the last three years of the Obama administration (2014-2016) to the first three years of Trump’s first administration (2017-2019), international visitor spending was essentially flat (up less than 1%), bringing in roughly $156 billion per year on average, according to a U.S. Travel Association report.       ........

....... International visitors spent $254 billion on U.S. travel and tourism-related goods and services in 2024, according to the International Trade Administration. Coming into 2025, Tourism Economics, a division of Oxford Economics, forecasted the U.S. would see a 9% jump in international inbound travel, which would have equated to a boost of about $16.3 billion in revenue for the U.S. economy. But by August, the analytics firm had revised its projection significantly downward, estimating international travel spending would fall by 4.2%—translating to a year-over-year loss of $8.3 billion for the U.S. economy and a $24.6 billion swing from its original forecast.           .........

European cities are actively combating overtourism through restricted access, higher taxes, and bans on new holiday rentals to manage overcrowding. Locals in hotspots like Barcelona, Venice, and the Canary Islands are protesting against soaring housing costs, noise, and strained infrastructure, leading officials to shift focus from mass volume to sustainable, high-quality tourism.

So why are they screaming about tourism job losses?

Those ungrateful modern classics should be thanking us for staying out, is it?

Go make Monaco the next Las Vegas, they can say. Go to Paris Disney World instead.

We don't want them here.
