NEW YORK: The US tourism industry faces the possibility of another “lost decade” of foreign visitors due to President Donald Trump’s travel ban, a leading hotel executive said Monday. “When it comes to a business as competitive as travel, we need to remember that words matter. Tisch said it was still too soon to have hard data on the exact impact of Trump’s proposed ban, but one of Loews’ hotels in Miami has had groups cancel because they had attendees from a travel ban country. He also cited cases of Emirates airline cutting flights to some US cities and projections of steep cutbacks in foreign travel to New York City. “We all hope the data on travel to the US remains positive.
