The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I wonder what happened?...

"Overseas visitors to the US are on track to drop by almost 2 million year-on-year, with even the FIFA Men’s World Cup failing to arrest the decline in tourism."

"The slide is hurting the US economy, and it, is partly self-inflicted: There has been a significant drop in visitors from US allies like Canada and several European countries,
which have been a target of Washington’s trade war and taunts."

"Meanwhile, China is attracting more visitors with its visa-free entry policies, and Japan’s weak currency is drawing in a record number of tourists."

"We’re the only major country in the world losing visitation," the head of the US Travel Association said. "It’s mind-boggling."

Are we great again, again?
