Europeans complain about U.S. travel fees
It seems that U.S. travelers aren’t the only ones complaining about fees. Europeans are complaining about U.S. fees too.
At issue is a planned $10 charge for Europeans coming to the United States. The European Parliament calls the charge unfair, saying it amounts to a new visa restriction.
Janet Napolitano, Homeland Security Secretary, calls the fee reasonable, since the United States doesn’t have an agency for travel and tourism, “unlike many of your countries,” she said of the European states.

The Europeans are complaining about the US charging them fees?
What about the $423.70+ in taxes that my company has to pay for my next trip to London?
The airfare itself is only $464.00.
Now THAT is something to complain about especially when my wife and a group of her friends avoided a trip to London for that very reason.
Who is to blame when the tourists stop coming?
