Well people don't want to be sold into slavery to El Salvador. Big surprise!
Those charts are soon going to look a lot worse. I know of many people who had already paid for their vacation before the tariffs were announced, so they went anyway. New bookings for flights from Canada to the U.S. are down over 70%.
If you enjoy the risk of getting suddenly jailed NK or Iran are way better.
Iran has better food anyway.
Actually, since ICE isn't sending people to trial, they might be lowering the US statistic lol.
So not only are you safer from getting arrested in Iran, but you're more likely to receive a trial.
You just made me realize there's less chance to get imprisioned as a tourist in NK than in USA right now xD
US border is asking questions about your opinion of Trump. No other country does that, even if going out of your way to bad mouth their leadership won't be appreciated.
The answer "it's none of my business, you guys elected him." resulted in being turned away from the border.
My country is vast. My country is huge. My country is beautiful and welcoming too. My country wonโt jail you because of your thoughts. My country is Canada ๐จ๐ฆ and we have amazing vacationing spots.
And people should go there ASAP, as pretty soon they'll probably have to worry about some Belarus-style shenanigans happening as their flight transits US airspace.
Plus, mention you came instead of going to the US and get treated like royalty.
It is however extremely expensive.
Extremely expensive? Not a chance.

Canada is one of the cheapest developed countries to visit.
All those ungrateful tourists that can't stand the idea of getting mistakenly deported into a High Security Salvadoran prison and then being left to rot there because 'yeah, it's kinda annoying but we can't get him back, you know'.
If I were the all-mighty orange dude, I would put a 146% tax on every single tourist that is refusing to come spend their money in the USA! They're nothing but traitors! They should pay! And maybe I would invade their country, to show the world who's the boss.
I don't blame any non-American for staying out of the insanity soup going on here.
Even as a middle age, "white privilege" guy, I'm concerned about traveling outside the U.S. and coming back through immigration. I'm liberal, protester, and strongly anti-Maga on the socials.
I won't set foot on US soil again as long as Trump or any other conservative is running this country.
It's not even just about how you get shafted at the border nowadays. I simply don't want to visit a country that is ruled by misanthropic fascists.
And I think that many people will probably feel the same way.
Yep. For the same reason I wouldn't visit Russia, Turkey, and the likes.
Even though I'd really like to aside from the regimes.
I wanted to visit before the collapse, but it didn't work out for multiple reasons.
Now I'm doubly sad that I didn't go. Because if I would indeed decide to go now, it would be a coin toss if a random typo in some papers would land me in a gulag
That whole "throwing people in jail for weeks for thought crime" thing isn't as inviting as Trump thinks, apparently.
Straight from Musk's playbook of business success.
"I've let all the Nazis back on Xitter. Wait! Advertisers! Where are you going?!??"
How long until they start suing tourists for not going to the US?
I'm an American who has traveled to Europe a few times since Trump. I talked with a few Europeans about our president and all but one were not shy about disliking Trump. The only exception was a polish man who honestly seemed like not the greatest guy. MRA type from my interactions with him. Trump is more unhinged than ever so I wouldn't travel here. I absolutely think about the politics of a place and how it could contribute to things going wrong when I travel abroad, so I get it
Only 20 to 30%?
I don't blame anyone, there is no need to personally see the circus that is our country currently. Watch the circus from stands unless you want to be a part of it.
no shit, dont want to have some border police going through my phone and putting me on detention only to deport me back later
If you're lucky you'll be deported back to your own country.
I don't blame a single person for not wanting to tour the US ATM.
Disneyland tickets are now affordable?
i really hope the majority of countries boycott the 2028 games and don't show up in la.
Nazi Germany, China and Russia/Soviet Union set a rather bad precedent for this.
Attendance will double you say?
Yeah, I bet barely anyone will boycott it.
Not even CA can stop the ICE from harassing people at airports.
Admittedly surprised. I thought it would be like the Bush years when they proclaimed their distaste of the US while still dreaming about living/visiting places like New York and LA.
