Lend your voice to The Conversation: Trump vs Tourism

Dear Reader, 

As international tourists reconsider trips to the US, an estimated $90 billion in revenue may be lost.

Ahead of The Independent's second episode of The Conversation: Trump vs Tourism – an exclusive video series for registered users – we want to hear what our readers think about travelling to the US during a second Trump administration.

In this upcoming episode, The Independent's travel correspondent Simon Calder and global travel editor Annabel Grossman will be joined by BBC presenter Sara Thornton to explore whether travel and politics can truly be kept separate.

Is a holiday ever just a holiday? Can travel remain apolitical in a polarised world — or does where we choose to go say something about who we are?

Let us know what you think and lend your voice to the discussion.

More information about how to watch this episode will be shared over the coming days. In the meantime, please share your thoughts and questions, and we look forward to welcoming you to The Conversation.
