WSJ: $20 Billion a Year in Lost Arab Tourism

Meanwhile, hassling Arab visitors and making their visas difficult to get and being mean to them while they are here is costing the US $20 billion a year in lost tourism, and universities have lost $42 million in tuition money, and hospitals have lost wealthy Arab patients. My guess is that we are also losing big time in the area of exports to the Arab world, and that these losses will accelerate over time.
