Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan
The Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply to travelers from more than 40 countries.

People are already boycotting the us, they don't need another reason.
Tourism is only down 30% or so. So maybe they do need more reasons.
I can't believe it's so little. Do they not know what's happening here?
People are into sunk costs and book well in advance. A lot of that 30% is no-money-back cancellations.
Wait until you see next year.
I personally know Canadians who are still going back to the Untied States for half the year and I'm confused as to how they're not deeply ashamed. Do they not know? Can they really be that oblivious?
Their right wing is trying to crib some (not all) notes from Trump, so I'd imagine those Canadians are the ones who think what Trump is doing is fine.
FAFO
Is this 30% down in foreign tourist (like people crossing border with the intention of a tourist visit) or 30% down in tourist industry revenue?
If it's revenue that's huge. Because a lot of tourism is just Americans going to tourist destinations. Though I'm sure some of that drop is coming from Americans also not being able to afford vacations.
If it's 30% down of actual foreign tourist travel that's less than I'd expect too. But still beyond devastating to the tourist industry. Between that and the explosion of online gambling, I know Vegas is hurting so much right now.
