El tercer turoperador alemán en Mallorca pide más todo incluido

📌 Schauinsland Reisen, German tour operator with a 14% market share in Mallorca, advocates for all-inclusive hotels to boost German tourist demand amidst price sensitivity.

Nueva York perderá 800.000 turistas internacionales por el efecto Trump

📅 New York City Tourism and Conventions predicts a drop in international tourism to New York by 800,000 foreign visitors by 2025 due to the "Donald Trump effect." The most affected source markets will be Canada and China. Initial forecasts for 2025 predicted 67.6 million total visitors, revised down to 64.1 million. International tourists are expected to number 12.1 million, down from 14.1 million. This decline is attributed to Trump's trade and immigration policies. Recovery is expected post-2026, with the soccer World Cup, hosted alongside Mexico and Canada, potentially marking the start of improvement. Canadian tourism to the U.S. has dropped by 7% in the first four months of the year, with airline services being reduced. The Chinese government is discouraging travel to the U.S. due to trade conflicts, but public reaction has been less extreme. The British market, New York's largest source of international tourists, is more concerned with high accommodation and transportation costs rather than Trump's policies.
