Anti-Tourism Message: Roger Dow and Travel Industry

anti-tourism message: International arrivals and travel-related spending are up in 2017 compared with the same period in 2016, according to CTV. There might even be a Trump bump, says Roger Dow, CEO of the U.S. Travel Association, a non-profit representing the travel industry. But those fears may have been premature. A few months ago, Dow and others warned that President Donald Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric and ban on travel from a handful of mostly Muslim countries could send an anti-tourism message. Right now we cannot identify a loss. But impending doom hasn't manifested itself, Dow said in an interview. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
