International Visitor Spending in the United States Down Markedly in May
No kidding. And to boot, I was at the post office yesterday waiting in line behind a woman trying to get a Passport in less than 3 weeks. Come on folks, don't wait until the last moment to get the paperwork going. The post 911 period means more difficult travel for all. ESPECIALLY for our foreign guests. So "travel to US is down."
