Las Vegas is currently in the midst of recovering from the deadliest shooting in modern U.S. history. Studies show that Americans will continue to visit Las Vegas because the gunmen appear to have been working alone and not in connection to terrorist groups. The public usually interprets a solo act like this as being unlikely to recur in the future and therefore continue to visit. International tourists, however, may stay away because they feel unsafe with the gun regulations in America. International tourists account for approximately 8.6 million of the 43 million annual tourists that visit Vegas or in other words, 1 in 10 international visitors to the U.S. stop in Vegas. The consensus is things should bounce back pretty quickly if there is a drop in international tourists visiting Las Vegas as a tourist destination. I agree and see Las Vegas bouncing back quickly as people try not to let the erratic and inexplicable actions of a single human being dictate their lives especially when it comes to a place as iconic as Las Vegas.

Given past statistics on large cities similar to Las Vegas, I don't doubt that it will bounce back quickly. It will be interesting to see how international tourist rates (both to Las Vegas and the rest of the nation) will continue to fluctuate based on the steadfast lack of gun control in the U.S and foreign opposition to such policies.
ReplyDeleteActually, I don't think economic growth will bounce back pretty quickly. Because the tourists from all over the world will afraid to come to Las Vegas in a while. So the good and service that produce in Las Vegas will supply greater than demand. It is because the tourists' cost in Las Vegas share a large amount of local economic.
