Is Trump Bad For Tourism?

http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/21/politics/trump-travel-ban-deterring-tourists-cnntv/index.html


Is President Trump bad for tourism? The article states that Donald Trump put a ban on tourists coming from the seven predominately Muslim countries. During the weekend of the ban there was a 30% drop in international searches to the United States. A tour operator saw a noticeable decrease in bookings that weekend as well. President Trump also suspended the refugee admission for 120 days. It was not to permanent residents just people with visa or green cards. This led to confusion all over the country in the airports across the nation. Many human rights groups were brought to this attention and protested for the people's rights.

This applies to the content in class because we have been discussing presidents and campaigns. Many people voted for Trump because he told everyone he was going to make a change in this country and "Make America Great Again." When many people took part in the campaigning in ads and everything else he made sure to clarify he was going to get rid of illegal immigrants and get more jobs. Trump is acting on this now and fast now that he is in office. He is already deporting illegal immigrants and he is also acting on it by doing his ban in the airports to prevent illegal immigration.

I feel that this is a good idea. However, it is lowering the tourists rates by a significant amount and pretty fast. I also think that it is a bit unnecessary to start all this chaos along the nation in the airports creating more complications. Illegal immigrants shouldn't be here and I think President Trump acting on it is good. He is in fact doing what he said he would do now that he is in office and I think this will improve America.
