A friend of mine canceled their family trip to California. They don't want to be "uncertain" to enter despite valid visa with kids. I have to say the US resembles a police state the most at the moment, you know the type of government democracies teach at school to be wary about :lol:
My co workers are afraid of the Twin Cities since Floyd, and other paralleled regions. One used the light rail system and that was game over. USA is huge though, it's really region by region. Most Midwest states are as large as EU nations, lots of variation.
As for tourism, as far as I'm concerned many parts of the US need to rip the tourism as a replacement for actual industries bandaid off. For example, my region touts environmental tourism industry which is great, until you realize it's Seasonal 5 month boom, 7 month shit. And most of the tourists are completely out of touch citidiots. Worse, the second property owners running commercial real estate in residential single family zoned small towns. Yeah, tourism is really good. We love th Canadians especially, great tippers
