Highlight:

Warnings not to visit Florida are global now. It is dangerous for many people. What a commentary [View all] RKP5637 May 2023 OP

Florida is a rogue State. Texas will be the next to receive the same warning. sarcasmo May 2023 #1

I am seriously shocked Texas wasn't the first one yellowdogintexas May 2023 #2

State Dept. should issue travel warnings for TX ... to all Americans. nt eppur_se_muova May 2023 #7

Agreed ..... anciano May 2023 #20

+1 hell, I have no idea what TX has to offer tourists. No Grand Canyon, TeamProg May 2023 #23

I only visited as a recruit in San Antonio. And I've been in all the airports. BlackSkimmer May 2023 #35

I've been on the river walk. It is nice. Dave says May 2023 #88

The key to the Alamo is to go on the weekend ExWhoDoesntCare May 2023 #112

Big Bend National Park is nice. nt Ilsa May 2023 #53

TX is actually #4 in tourism behind California, Florida and Nevada TexasBushwhacker May 2023 #60

Texas actually has a great deal to see and do ExWhoDoesntCare May 2023 #111

So, lots of places to get shot? TeamProg May 2023 #114

Fort Worth will keep you busy for days! yellowdogintexas May 2023 #115

No National Parks in East Texas but I think there are several yellowdogintexas May 2023 #116

I don't think the resulting loss of tourist income is going to make a difference. Aristus May 2023 #3

When the convention biz stops coming the local conservative TeamProg May 2023 #25

It's not a real warning. BlackSkimmer May 2023 #63

The everyday news is enough of a warning. Travelers have a better reason, re: safety, to avoid TX. TeamProg May 2023 #69

Not to dismiss DeSantis' shenannigans, but that's just a random website. NOT a travel warning. Tommy Carcetti May 2023 #4

There are also several travel warnings but not state issued. n/t RKP5637 May 2023 #16

Exactly inthewind21 May 2023 #17

I agree, plimsoll May 2023 #18

Exactly. If various countries were giving wnylib May 2023 #24

It's just some random website that someone made. BlackSkimmer May 2023 #36

Fodors is not some rando site, (granted the warning is not state issued) it is one of the biggest tr Celerity May 2023 #107

The OP is a website, and it's not Fodor's. The OP posted a random website. BlackSkimmer May 2023 #108

Multiple big name nations have issued official warnings at some level for the US Celerity May 2023 #110

Fodor's writes a line of travel books, so not entirely "random" Hekate May 2023 #54

I was hoping that this was a site with official warnings from various countries. GoneOffShore May 2023 #5

I'd hoped that too, but Fodor's issued one and their guides are used globally. intheflow May 2023 #12

Good to know. This is something that is worth sharing. GoneOffShore May 2023 #13

I find it rather delightful. intheflow May 2023 #6

It will also affect Disney, giving DeSantis an economic win over Disney. wnylib May 2023 #26

I'm sure Disney can handle it. intheflow May 2023 #50

Good luck finding it.... Chakaconcarne May 2023 #8

Funny. It came up just now. grumpyduck May 2023 #11

A website that is owned sarisataka May 2023 #9

That is not the one your OP is about though, is it? BlackSkimmer May 2023 #47

Look, all I did was post a link! Bye! n/t RKP5637 May 2023 #49

DeSantis has pushed it too far and the pendulum is about to swing back hard. tinrobot May 2023 #10

One would hope so! But he got re-elected. TeamProg May 2023 #22

Pete Wilson got re-elected in California tinrobot May 2023 #34

You would think so, but Sky Jewels May 2023 #31

Guess we're not getting an answer. BlackSkimmer May 2023 #48

Nope. And that's a Big Tell. I don't like blanket "air of hatred" accusations leveled at ancianita May 2023 #55

Where do you live there? I'm just not hearing this from my friends there. BlackSkimmer May 2023 #42

Dunno, can you? If lived that close, I'd rather see the inside stuff, wouldn't you? ancianita May 2023 #76

I could wear a MAGA hat, they would let me right in with them! n/t RKP5637 May 2023 #78
