From Dominican Today

U.S. President Donald Trump is implementing a series of measures aimed at discouraging travel by his fellow citizens to the Caribbean, making it more attractive and beneficial for them to concentrate their spending in their own country, as detailed by REPORTUR.us.

Recent weeks have underscored this view, with several travel alerts deemed exaggerated by tourism professionals, including the use of words like “terrorism” for destinations in Mexico, or combined with more or less explicit bans on Cuba, in addition to even mentions about the Dominican Republic that are somewhat distorted by reality.

The weakness of the dollar also encourages Americans to consider it more economical to stay in their country during a vacation, while making it cheaper for foreigners to travel within the borders of the world’s leading power ( QRoo suffers a “Terrorism” warning from the USA for the first time ).

In fact, Trump himself argued that among the main benefits of a weak dollar was tourism, as it both discourages locals from traveling abroad and encourages foreigners to visit his country, in a protectionist vein that is shaping his economic approach.
