It's the kind of thing people dream about for years and save up to do it. For so many people to suddenly change their plans must mean that Trump is doing a really good job of convincing the world that he's turning the U.S. into a place they'd rather avoid.

A lot of the bigger tourist spots and our colleges depend upon foreign tourists and students (medical schools, etc.)...makes sense that a lot of Mom and Pop businesses (a lot of college towns have) will suffer too somewhat.
