I'd like to see any stats if there was
an impact on the US-tourism industry due to the changes during the last
couple of years.

I subscribe to a number of lodging industry magazines, naturally, and
if there's been any impact it's not been measurable. In fact, the
lodging industry as a whole has been experiencing record and continuous
growth since 2002, after taking a big hit right after 9/11.

Now, of course, there's more to tourism than simply lodging, but it's a
good bellwether.
