If cutting off most of Europe already to the U.S. inbound tourism industry, today’s announcement by President Trump to include more European countries including the UK and Ireland, added more fear into the future of the travel and tourism industry for the United States.

El president i conseller delegat de l'Associació de viatges dels EUA, Roger Dow, va emetre la següent declaració:

“The public’s health and safety is priority No. 1, and we hope the aggressive steps taken by the federal government succeed in putting the moment of greatest concern behind us. Hearing of the need to further expand travel restrictions—especially the inclusion of our No. 1 overseas source market, the UK—is obviously not the development the U.S. travel industry was hoping for. Aggressive steps will also be needed to address the health of the U.S. economy, the small businesses that makeup 83% of all U.S. travel employers, and the 15.8 million travel-supported jobs that are going to feel a catastrophic impact from coronavirus.”

The UK accounted for 4.7 million visitors to the U.S. in 2018, who spent $15.7 billion.

531,000 Irish visitors to the U.S. spent $2.0 billion in 2018.
