Travel expert warns of ripple effects for global tourism

President Trump’s tariffs are causing anxiety in global markets, with the International Monetary Fund warning of a negative impact on the economy.

Airlines are preparing for higher costs due to potential increases in fuel and maintenance expenses, which could lead to reduced flight routes and higher ticket prices.

Hotels and resorts relying on imported goods may also face rising overheads, passing costs onto guests and potentially dampening demand.

Trump’s stricter visa policies and border enforcement are reshaping global perceptions of the US, with reports of mistreatment at entry points fueling fears among travellers.

International travel to the US has already seen a sharp decline, prompting travellers to consider alternative destinations and plan ahead for potential delays and changes in travel policies.
