Spoiler alert, it will last at least a few more years, possibly longer. Trump and his gestapo have made it clear that the US is closed for business as long as he's in charge. The next great depression is just getting started.

A downturn in international travel to the U.S. may last beyond summer, experts warn
(abcnews.go.com)
The more I live through it, the more I am buying into belief that history doesn’t repeat, but it sure as hell rhymes..
We are currently experiencing our own twist on the “Roaring ‘20s”, an not particularly looking forward to what the next next couple of decades will bring.
More like the 1930s.
Oh, you wish.. things can still get a lot worse from here for a whole mess of us. There is still blood that the Top 0.1% have not yet squeezed from the stone.

It's appropriate that corporate barons in airlines, hotels and restaurant industries that have long funded Republicans for deregulation and union busting and poverty wages. They're now getting the full side of the coin which includes:
- their chosen party destroying perceptions of safety and desirability to popular tourist destinations by claiming they are warzones while he deploys precious military resources to create said zones,
- their chosen party arresting, deporting and discouraging the employment base of hotels and restaurants. No one else is going to do the work.
- their chosen party doing incalculable damage to the reputation of the US higher education system and it's reputation by removing science and academic freedom norms by trying to politicize science, admission and revoke the first amendment.
- their chosen party during travel into dystopian reality where social media accounts, your sexuality or your political beliefs determine how or whether you may be admitted to the US.
Airlines will be devastated with reduction in local (poverty wages, can't afford flights) and international travelers. Hotels will suffer as they should. I hope restaurant owners are decimated.
Have the economy and society you voted for you greedy, selfish, disgusting fucks.
the US higher education system and it’s reputation
While I wholeheartedly agree with your comment, I cannot help but notice the irony in that particular bit.

Whole list of things where the rules were put in for a reason, but people forgot the reasons, and now they want to get rid of them. Sometimes while calling GK Chesterton a conservative intellectual and forgetting about his fence analogy.
Why, yes, it was all shaving the sharpest edges off of capitalism. It was the only way this system could even possibly work, and they're dismantling it.

Oh, we're not coming back.
We really don't blame you
You should come over to Europe. We have nice food and democracy (in most places. Fuck Orban).

It's going to take years to recover, decades even, if ever.
Nothing I hear from my friends in Canada or Europe say otherwise. They're all willing to dig in their heels and avoid this country like the plague.
Indefinitely.
Even if we elect (heh, like there'll be real elections going forward) someone else, this stain will stay with us for generations until people forget or forgive, and that's going to take time, if it ever happens in our lifetimes.
Yes, it’s this. It takes one dick at the top to issue the orders but after he’s dead or voted out we have to reconcile with the thousands of workers who executed the orders, and the millions that sat at home cheering them on.
No thanks, headed to countries that want me to visit not just my dollars.
America doesn't even want its own citizens, just their dollars. It's a shit country.

None ever liked dealing with US immigrations anyway.
Yeah I'm coming into your country to go to Disneyland, of course I'm not a terrorist, what a stupid question. Yeah, feel free to drop my iPad, it only cost 2 weeks of earnings, I'm sure I don't mind.

uhhh yeah that's what we've been saying
we're not coming back. fuck you guys. give us a solid decade of excellent behaviour and make up for your threats to take us over, and we'll consider thinking about making a plan to return
Years. If not decades. You did this to yourself.
The World Travel & Tourism Council projected ahead of Memorial Day that the U.S. would be the only country among the 184 it studied where foreign visitor spending would fall in 2025.
I see... so this is what Makes America Great Again. Falling tourism spending.
MAGAts hate foreign tourists, they make the US locals feel poor.
Morons And Genuine Assholes
Lol who tf are these experts!?!? I coulda told you that for half the price!
No shit. The whole "potentially being arrested and thrown into a concentration camp because you tweeted something the president doesn't like" thing kinda puts a damper on tourism.
Who wants to go to all the trouble of planning an expensive vacation, pay out a lot for tickets and hotels and such, only to get off the plane, and be refused entry because they are demanding to go through your social media?There goes your vacation, and your money.
Fuck it, if I'm European, we're heading to Thailand or the Caribbean for the next few years.
Fucking duh.
A downturn in travel to the us may be temporary, but America can go fuck itself forever.

Tourists could also go to North Korea, but for some reason it doesn't draw crowds, I wonder why.
Who would want to go to a facist dictatorship run by a deranged pedofile game show host?
Well that's what happens when the difference between you and North Korea is the quality of available Kimchi.
Kimchi is definitely more available in the US than in NK, just like every other kind of food.

You don't say? America, are we tired of winning, yet?
I'm not going to the US while the turd is still in charge
When douche sandwich gets in though, i'm going to disneyworld
jk, i've actually lost interest in the US entirely tbh
Either people voted him in and it was all legit, and that's scary, or they're all happily going along with rigged elections while fascists take over, which is also scary.

do these experts get payed for these complex infos? any hiring?
Good
Well, if Trump and his insane ideas last past the summer, the effects will last, too.
Insert Trump picture with subtitle "I did this".
I'm sure Nazi Germany never saw a downturn in foreign travel in the 1930's.
May last,lol
As a US citizen, good. Our government will just keep being assholes unless people shun them (by taking away their money).
Same position, shut this shit down, it is going to be painful living inside it but it is absolutely necessary.
and vegas is pretty hard hit, especially since they were declining for many years already.
Vegas will die with the boomers.
If it weren't for... motions to everything all of this, they were in the middle of reinventing themselves.
We took a family vacation there last year and had a hoot. Area 15, Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire, Hoover dam, No lack of family-friendly shows, alien tourist traps, a ghost town, grand Canyon spots, the sphere. If you're looking for sex and gambling, it still exists, but you don't have to walk down the street beside it for the most part.

Why would it? The problem is still there. Even if Trump was gone tomorrow the Republicans that put all this in motion would still be in charge.
It's going to take a new government, several arrests, a change of the constitution so that this can never happen again, and at least 10 years of stability before the world trusts the US again.
Good. This needs to happen. So the clueless can finally accept that the US isn't the best. We as a people think we are the best fighters. We are really the biggest losers. Except perhaps for one shining moment right after WWII. Then we decided to become the worlds peacekeeper and have consistently lost every conflict since then.
Come on tell me those that disagree. Tell me one we won like we won in Germany and Japan. Where we ended up will allies instead of more enemies.
We are gonna lose this fight. The tourist can go anywhere in the world why would they come here?
