Nothing we can’t see on TV or the internet. At least nothing worth spending the cash on. After all, all those “medieval buildings, the Tower of London”... all that stuff ISN’T American!

We left Europe’s fetid shores for a REASON! And with how they have treated us since the 1700’s, I see no reason to give Europe the favor of our tourism. None at all.

It is a shame that Americans bother with tourism outside this country when all you’d ever need is here, though.

“Nothing we can’t see on TV or the internet. At least nothing worth spending the cash on”

1)purely subjective - your opinion but its up to the individual owning the cash and spending it that should affect more than anything his willingness to do so. A free market thing - something highly valued on this site I believe.

“I see no reason to give Europe the favor of our tourism.”

Neither do I; pure self interest should dictate whether you vacation abroad as opposed to any duty of benevolence. Nobody owes anybody a living.

I could sneer at a whole number of things profiting from peoples tastes & preferences differing from my own - and there’s plenty of them. But I choose not to, because at the end of the day, each to their own.

Maybe I’m just too tolerant.
