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.

From what I've understood, the tourism markets on both sides have proven
quite resilient in the face of new threats and restrictions. Visits to the
US are not substantially off despite the fact that many people now require
Visas who didn't previously. And France remains the world's first tourist
destination (with London gaining fast) despite the whole flap over Iraq.
Apparently the largest tourist draw in France has changed though - today
more people visit Euro Disney than visit the Eiffel Tower, which indicats
significant numbers of people make the trip all the way to the outskirts of
Paris, but never mak a detour away from Disneyland to visit the city of
Paris!
