| Tourism USA - Still No Gun Control ? |
Mass shootings in El Paso Texas, and Dayton Ohio. If I was a tourist
deciding if I would go on vacation to America, and heard that 29 people
were killed within 24 hrs today, in addition to the non-stop gun
violence all around the country, and knowing the US has no real gun
control laws which work, I would certainly think twice, before I would go to
the US on vacation.
Statistics
are also showing that the U.S. tourismvhas suffered heavily since 2016.
Now it looks like the evidence is finally here.
The bigger picture shows the U.S.is specially losing ground on the global stage.
Arrivals to Europe and Asia-Pacific both increased by 6 percent, while
the Middle East saw a 10 percent uptick in 2018. It seems that global
travelers are looking elsewhere for their vacations.
“After registering average annual growth of 23 percent over the previous decade, Chinese travel to the US stopped in its tracks last year—perhaps in connection to trade tensions. Similarly, South Korea fell 3 percent after averaging 11 percent growth over the prior ten years. Japan also contracted; this continues the narrative of an ever important but languishing market. And Germany surprised with a steep decline in 2018, perhaps evidence of a reaction to unpopular U.S. diplomacy and policies.”
Among some of the major reasons foreign tourists are giving for not choosing the US as their tourist destination are: inadequate Public Transportation Systens, personal safety, as a result of gun violence and poor infrastructure.
