data while domestic travel continues to increase the same cannot be said of international travel. according to the department of commerce in the first three months of the trump presidency nearly 700,000 fewer foreign travelers visited the u.s. representing a 4.2 decrease at a loss of $2.7 billion in spendin spending. over the first nine months 2017 the arrivals dropped by 4% despite international travel increasing worldwide by 4.6% it is obvious the presidents rhetoric and policies have an effect on the desire of foreign travelers to visit our beautiful country. his racially and religiously motivated travel ban and his of session with building a wall to separate children from their mothers at the border and the disparaging remarks to the people of mexico, haiti and el salvador in the entire continent of africa hurt our country's reputation to send the message that outsiders are not welcome. just yesterday he called immigrants animals disrespectful language that should never be spoken by a president. tourism is the seventh largest employer in the united states international travel
