Travel industry group slams Trump's call to close the borders

The Hill reports:

The travel industry is striking back against calls from Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump to close American borders following terrorist attacks in Brussels.

The U.S. Travel Association released a statement condemning the attacks, while pushing policymakers to address security threats in a nuanced way.

"Words matter and move markets,” said the group’s president and CEO, Roger Dow, without directly mentioning Trump. “It's just not realistic to ban religions, order war crimes, and end international travel. Bombast and bluster are no substitutes for thoughtful leadership.”

“We urge U.S. leaders to continue to embrace policies that emphasize collecting information in the most sophisticated and innovative ways possible in order to advance our ability to prevent such attacks here in the U.S. and abroad,” he said.

Good luck with that one.
