Thank you @Hoteliermag for publishing this article I co-authored with @KelleyGeoPhD about tourism trends in the USA (and Canada). digital-issue.hoteliermagazine.com/may-2026/page-…

I have said for years, #destinations miss out on understanding and "recruiting" the repeat #visitor. The #tourism industry is so busy with metrics that have changed little in 40 years. Instead, how can we encourage and promote an authentic love of place so that visitors return?

U.S. hotels are calling the World Cup a ‘non-event’ and 80% warn bookings are falling short of expectations. Despite FIFA selling 5 million tickets for the games, “indicators suggest the anticipated economic lift may fall short of expectations" fortune.com/2026/05/12/us-…

On this day, 15 May, 1889, the Eiffel Tower officially opened to the public... It was an immediate success & now gets around 7 million visitors per year! #thegoodlifefrance

Au 1er janvier 2026, la population a chuté pour la première fois en 50 ans. Entre dénatalité et resserrement migratoire, le pays bascule. L'Ontario et la Colombie-Britannique n’y échappent pas non plus, marquant la fin d'une ère de croissance. @yasminekhayat1

En raison du blocus pétrolier, Cuba voit son tourisme s'écrouler. La chaîne Meliá ferme plusieurs hôtels et Varadero est déserte. De La Havane aux plages, le vide est total. Les Cubains survivent tant bien que mal, mais il s’agit d’un désastre. @jmleprince

I very much enjoyed meeting colleagues from @LaboralesUGR at the Universidad de Granada @CanalUGR today. I delivered a seminar about immigration in Canada and the tourism sector. There appears to be many similarities between Canada and Spain on this topic.

Why do people still take cruises? Convenience, value outweigh health risks. cbc.ca/news/canada/cr…

As Vancouver and Toronto prepare to host FIFA World Cup matches this summer, tourism businesses are gearing up for an influx of visitors. However, Prof Wayne Smith cautions that the World Cup’s immediate tourism gains may only be modest. bit.ly/3RyOQpe

@cspotweet In France, volunteers have been counting election ballots across the country (and abroad for French nationals living abroad) for years. It's free and it works well.

Premier Smith asked about the effort and cost to hire up to 90,000 people to count referendum ballots this fall. She says she's not worried, saying paper ballot hand counts are the way to go.
