Travellers miss out on the US

Sunday 6th July, 2008
A boom in international travel around the world has not included the United States.
Travel industry experts say the US is missing the opportunity to bring in international tourists to make up for the shortfall in domestic travel.
The faltering US economy and competition from other countries has cut down the tourist business.
According to the UN World Tourism Organisation, major destinations such as Los Angeles, Orlando, San Francisco, Miami, Honolulu, Las Vegas, Chicago, Washington and Boston all saw a downturn in travelers.

Travellers miss out on the US
HAA HA “If you wish for your own shame you shall have it”
Faltering US Economy my arse??lower dollar should help???Who wants to go over to the most violent and brutal country.
Probably more like to get shot in the U.S
And any dollar we spend there is going toward cluster bombs,napalm or smart bombs.
It’s bad enough spending any money at your multinational companies as they pay no or little tax to the country but pay tax in the U.S.

yukon, a pinhead? nah!
A pinhead is much too big. I n any case his literary skill has been posted a little more frequently as of late.
As it happens when you get older 'reflections' of past similarities take a lil longer. The lil sods that thought the 'pinhead' name caming was cool, suffered the worst in the 'exchange' as they became the jealous! 'bugfuckers' because of their extreme smallness.
Just keep bugging alone yukon, master of 26 words and 10 posts.

I can only point and laugh at you, illiterate “pinhead”. Is your stupidity congenital or self-inflicted?
