As Las Vegas works to reverse a recent decline in visitor numbers, Nevada’s two US senators are warning that a proposed federal rule requiring international travelers to disclose years of social media activity could discourage even more people from visiting the United States.
Senators Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto expressed concerns that the new rule could have a negative impact on tourism, stating that the country should be focusing on welcoming more tourists. The senators emphasized the importance of finding a balance between security measures and encouraging international visitors to choose the US as their destination.
They highlighted that the proposed social media checks could potentially deter travelers, affecting not only Nevada but the entire country's tourism industry. The senators urged for a reconsideration of the rule to avoid further harm to the tourism sector and ensure a welcoming environment for visitors.
