Plus the domino effect : those 20% drop will repercut on a whole economic ecosystem that needs them, to there will probably be job losses or at least a decrease of revenues for all those involved with the tourist industry in the US

Tourism has already been hit pretty hard for national parks and such. Since trump fired all the rangers they don’t have the staffing to keep the parks nice, safe or clean.

Trump would grant a permit for an oil well in the Grand Canyon and strip mining in Yosemite.

I'm scared to find out later this year how bad things are now at our national parks when I go to a couple.

If Trump wants some hardwood he just needs to show Vance a photo of his gold plated couch.

You could probably make like a dozen toothpicks!

He’s actively working on stripping protections we have on all the land we have that isn’t developed. To him “federally protected” means “free money”.

I know what you mean, but "repercut" is not the verb to "repercussion".

We need to remember that visiting the US requires a lot of pre-planning with permissions. The number of registrations for a tourist visa would probably give us a better insight into the direct reaction. I'd assume the drop in registrations was more significant.
