The FIFA World Cup is anticipated to draw significant international attention to the US, yet the potential for a 'Trump slump' in tourism looms large.
Proposed modifications to the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) could complicate travel for international visitors, impacting overall attendance.
Additionally, increased scrutiny on social media platforms may deter some potential travelers, further complicating the expected influx of football fans.
