I agree. But let's not overlook the reality that visits to the US by international travelers declined for the eighth straight month in December, and in 2025, visits to the US were down among 10 of the top 20 overseas tourist-generating countries, including India, Germany, and South Korea. Throw in another pandemic or massive economic crash, the travel industry will likely have to start incentivizing their products once again.
