"The war's end probably won't help the travel industry - at least not right away. There are still threats of terrorism, and Americans are not sure how they will be greeted overseas."
I would think this is good for the American travel industry. Instead of pumping billions into the coffers of french and german hotels/restraunts let the small businesses in this country reap some of that gold.
Good time for the 50 States to start a PROMOTE a VISIT America campaign.
