In a dazzling display of unintended consequences, tourism took a nosedive in five out of the last six months, as experts tie the decline tightly to the president’s choice words and iron-fisted policies. From January through June—with only a heroic May standing strong—visitors seem to have collectively tuned out speeches that apparently scream 'do not visit.' Reports suggest that restrictive policies resembling something between a welcome mat and a roadblock have been extremely effective at scaring away travelers. It’s a clear reminder that leadership communication styles can play a starring role in tanking an entire industry, making 'open for business' signs look a bit like sarcastic invitations.
