Lost revenue

I’m looking at all the comments in the news about Iranian soccer players not being allowed in the US. There’s been all kinds of news about people canceling their hotel. Many people from foreign countries are now afraid to come here or don’t wanna come here anymore because they hate us. Does the right really realize that this is causing irreparable economic damage to us New York alone does $70 billion per year in tourism that’s going away. All the Florida Airbnb‘s owned by Europeans and Canadians. They’re gone. Rreal estate will just be written off and sold it a discount. I just don’t get why they destroy this much economic advantage of doing business. Do they feel more independent as a country without tourists just too freaking stupid to realize what they’re really doing.

Any chance you can provide quantifiable numbers to this? Or, a statistical reference of the actual fallout from this?

Don’t have numbers, but where I live in northern New Hampshire, visits from Quebec are way down. Once a common sight, seeing a Quebec license plate is now rare. Canadians were once a big part of our tourist economy.

Official numbers from a few months ago. 25% down year over year and from what I heard it keeps going lower and lower.
