As tourists continue to steer clear of Donald Trump’s America, the US
travel industry is bearing the brunt of his unpopular policies.
Since Donald Trump took office, almost a third (29 per cent) of Britons
said they have been put off holidaying in America and flight searches to
the US have dropped overall by 13 per cent, according to a poll by
flight comparison site Cheapflights.co.uk.
“A significant number of Brits have been spooked by what they see
happening over the pond, and are beginning to vote with their clicks as
they explore alternative options for travel in 2017,” said managing
director of Cheapflights Andrew Shelton. “With UK travellers
contributing nearly $5 billion a year to the US economy, tourism chiefs
in the country should take note of what could be a substantial reduction
in support for a major industry there.”
