As travelers plan trips, concerns over U.S. foreign policy under President Trump influence their decisions. Franck Verhaeghe and friends opt to speak French while traveling to Mexico City, fearing negative international perceptions. Travel agencies report declining U.S. travel sales and increased inquiries about Americans' experiences abroad. A survey indicates a significant percentage of travelers foresee a lack of welcome in foreign countries. Social media showcases anxiety but hasn't triggered mass cancellations, as Americans seek reassurance regarding their international trips amidst shifting political climate.
As we planned our trip to Mexico City, we decided to speak French, not because I think it's unsafe, but I can imagine people there aren't very happy with us.
Two months into Trump's presidency, panic is spreading in Europe over the potential collapse of alliances and increasing tensions related to U.S. territorial policies.
A survey found that 72 percent of experienced U.S. travelers expect Americans to be less welcome abroad this year, reflecting growing concerns about international attitudes.
Despite concerns, travelers are not widely canceling plans, yet social media is filled with nervous inquiries about how Americans will be received abroad.
