International tourists no longer want to go see the roaming bands of drugged out zombies and risk stepping on used needles while watching their rental car get broken into? Shocking.

Trump's war on our economy roars forwards. Unabated.

Deplorable Trumping MAGAts continue to mindlessly cheer on the destruction of America.

That don't get the tourism California does.

Florida, Hawaii, Texas, New York, Nevada, California.

That's where the tourists are going.

All states will be losing money on tourism.

That's directly due to the actions of Trump.

But you MAGA morons can't think objectively about Trump even with the future of your children depending upon it.

Hopefully good times.

You've also been to a lot of states not on that list.

Quite a few. I've been to NY and CA but not as a tourist. I'm not a fan of crowds and traffic.

" Overall, international tourists make up six percent of California visitors, but 17 percent of spending."

Only six percent? Florida has 8.5% foreign tourists in 2024.
You know what that means, Liberals.
Trump is hurting the people who need to be hurt!

Florida: In 2024, the total number of visitors reached a new record of 142.9 million, including 130.7 million domestic visitors, 8.9 million international tourists, and 3.3 million Canadians. en.cibercuba.com
