New Tourist Taxes and Visa Fees Shake Up Global Travel in July

Can we talk about how fast the landscape of travel is shifting? Europe’s new ETIAS fee just jumped from €7 to €20, and now Greece is charging cruisers island-by-island. Meanwhile, Mexico’s Baja California Sur now asks for $25 from overnight tourists. Feels like every trip needs a mini budget meeting now just to understand the fees.


On the flip side, tourism to the U.S. is slumping hard. Trump’s policies, like the $250 visa integrity fee and the funding cuts to Brand USA, are turning people away. I know friends in Canada and Southeast Asia who are actively avoiding U.S. trips. Anyone else adjusting their travel bucket list based on these changes?
