With only six weeks to go before the start of the World Cup, hotels at most of the cities hosting the tournament are facing a major problem: Bookings are running far below what they had expected.

For some metro areas such as Kansas City, bookings are running even below what a typical June or July would bring, according to an industry survey released on Monday by the American Hotel and Lodging Association. The report was conducted last month and a spokesperson said it's based on 205 respondents "representing hotel operators and owners, many of whom own multiple hotel portfolios across the country and across multiple World Cup markets."

AHLA said the disappointing bookings stem from fewer than expected international travelers and large cancellations by FIFA — the organizer of the World Cup — leaving hotels with an unexpectedly large number of empty rooms.

notice how MAGA media propaganda for ICE and 'violent' foreigners has fallen off a cliff since noem booted, despite that culture war still more popular than iran,epstein.

have not seen any economic estimates on WC impact, but in general :

- canada, mexico matches expected to greatly outperform tourism\event economics
- there are enough wealthy american soccer fans for ticket sales...but many will not be using hotels\restaurants in their local area


int'nl traveler warning : if your airline has no fuel for a return trip, apply for a trump passport or get free accommodations in detention.

USA vs Paraguay, $988 per ticket for the nosebleeds. No thanks. I’ll watch on TV.
