Re: Anyone boycotting US travel

I still have tickets for a Boz Scaggs concert in Fort Lauderdale this Thursday (Feb 2) night. However, on November 9th, I decided not to go. Didn't want to be anywhere near Florida in the first two weeks of this stupidity.

I will be in florida thursday to monday. It will be the same as it always is. ALthough I still am not all too happy to be going to the US nor am I too happy that I own property in the US with this S-show going on right now.

There's a reason the US election system is setup the way it is, so that a single state can't determine the fate of the country.

Jordan Spieth would like to use a variation of this rule on #12 @The Masters this coming April.

If you want to play some golf, a buddy and I are driving to Williamsburg VA for a week, May 6-15. PM me if you're interested.

Our holidays are May 1-5.

Re: Anyone boycotting US travel

I actually boycotted as many US companies as I could after Bush was elected for the second time. I did travel down to see my brother in DC a few times however.

I'll likely do the same, if given the option of a US or European vacation I will be taking into consideration the state of Trump's America.

Re: Anyone boycotting US travel

We usually go to Hawaii every 5 years and it was coming due this winter but we skipped it. Going to a resort in Mexico instead. Not sure if that qualifies as a boycott, but we expected there would be changing rules and the associated headaches we just don't want to deal with.

My annual fall trip is SC is wait-and-see right now. As much as I like SC and find the people quite friendly, it's a former slave state with a lot of confederate flags still flying is some parts of the state. Who knows how emboldened these guys might get. Some of our group are in the enemies list with the folks with the white robes.

Also, I don't think you can assume the entry requirements for Canadian citizens will be the same as they've been for the past few years.

Re: Anyone boycotting US travel

I think this could become an issue. The US is often chosen to host world conferences/meetings in various fields. Multi-national companies will have to think twice about choosing the US to host as will many international associations. If tourism/conference numbers decline it hits many industries very quickly.
My former company for example would have trouble getting various Middle Eastern partners/dealers into the US for the annual sales meeting. If they have to relocate the meeting outside the US, that would be about 4000 (approx 1000 people for 4 nights/ea.) fewer hotel bookings for the host city. That's just one company relocating it sales meeting.
I think this type of action is going to adversely effect business in many ways, expect a lot of push back from large corporations.

The 2024 Olympic bid by LA comes to mind.

In Hawaii right now....zero issues. What are you expecting regarding entry requirements changing?

No headaches...just sun&fun.

More expensive than Mexico but safer and more beautiful in my opinion.

Re: Anyone boycotting US travel

I boycotted Carling Okeefe's products in the 80's because they were partly South african owned - that was my huge university protest! I felt it was a huge sacrafice on my part to make my statement and drink Labatt products.

ALmost felt like it was protesting in the sixties

I am not changing my long weekend in Florida at end of February.
