Holy Smokes a 212% increase. I understand the EU are doing theres to curb the negative effects of torism but are we doing the same. I am also on the fence. These taxes may work but if the tourism revenues start drying up then what?
Finally Delta has been using a algorith and every time i prepare to fly it seems to quite me lower prices than it use to. Im not complaining though. Great article!
Great job, Dr. A. While the administration won't admit it, this will come at a cost to local economies around the national parks that rely on visitors. The more the government takes from visitors' pockets, the less will be available for them to spend on lodging, restaurants, and local activities.
This is a very interesting experiment that, I suspect, we'll know the answer to (elasticity of foreign tourists) within 6 to 12 months of the fee hike. As someone who values traveling internationally, I can say "bucket list" places like the Great Wall or the Giza Pyramids are such target destinations that I wouldn't bat and eye at paying 100-200% more to access them.

I agree with you. I expect that international visitors' demand is more elastic than the current administration assumes.
