Subject: Travel Bans and Other Policies Will Impact Tourism Industry...

One of the reasons I support creating a safe space for Homer, through the inclusivity resolution is to preserve as much of our tourism industry as we can.

We have visitors coming here from all over the world and with our current administration's policies, it is already having an impact on tourism. I would imagine that Homer, Alaska may be impacted by this as well.

If we are not a safe place for foreign travelers, where will they go?
Washington? California?

Lots to consider here.
