Reconsider Burdensome Travel Bonds, Protect US Tourism Industry

The proposed requirement for visa applicants to post bonds of up to $15,000 to enter the United States raises significant concerns. This measure could substantially reduce travel to the US, leading to a detrimental economic impact, particularly on the aviation industry. A decline in international visitors would directly harm airlines operating flights to the US, resulting in reduced demand and revenue losses. As a major driver of tourism and business travel, a drop in visitors could have far-reaching consequences across various sectors reliant on international spending. I urge you to carefully consider the potential ramifications of this proposal on the US economy and reconsider implementing such a financially burdensome barrier to entry. Maintaining open travel policies is crucial for economic growth and global connectivity.
