    So does the US just want to totally kill its tourist industry because that seems to be the objective.

      Unfortunatel I feel like most people will complain about this and visit anyway. I’d be very happy to be wrong about this though.

        Only ignorant people. I had dreams of visiting and maybe doing a road trip, but under Trump I’m definitely not going there voluntarily. Even if my employer wants me to go there on business I’m refusing. I’d rather find another job than cross the US border.

          I’ve recently had a workshop with teams coming from different parts of Europe and North America.

          The USA was an option as a location. Needless to say, I wasn’t hot about it, and probably many others as well, so Eastern Europe was chosen instead.

          I really wanted to cycle across America. The states are so close and different compared to Australia. I doubt I’ll get the chance now.

        Well I used to go to Vegas quite often for conferences and now that’s stopped because apparently no one else wants to go either. I think they are having it in Leeds this year, which is quite the downgrade let me tell you.

        Better food though.
