It's only to prevent poor people from South America, Africa, Eastern Europe/Asia. Europe/Japan/Australia is still free to go there.

Apparently it's a big thing in South America to go to Disney World. Family of 4 just added $1k. It'll make you think twice.

When I flew back from Brazil last year to Orlando, almost the entire plane was families with kids, a lot of which were wearing Disney merch. I bet that flight will soon be much less full as $250 is currently almost R$1,400 per person. R$5,500 additional for a family of 4 is a LOT of money in Brazil.

Disney tickets are fucking expensive too. It’s like $150 a day most months, so if they still come, they aren’t going as many days (if at all).

It’ll make you think twice.

So will the lottery of a lucky few people being sent to their new home in El Salvador.

So does that add up to 3 thinks, or multiply to 4 thinks?

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That depends how many thinks it takes to get to the answer "it's not worth going". Some people will need a lot of thinks to get there.

South Sudan, and maybe rwanda

So a good chunk of people that would be interested in the World Cup…. Yet another reason not to come for them. FIFA is practically going to have to give away tickets to get people to show up at this rate

[-] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Being in the US even if FIFA gave me a ticket I'd burn it instead of going.

Professor at a large Canadian university here- interest in our EFL study tours from Europe, Latin America, and East Asian countries has skyrocketed this year as MANY of our partner universities are cancelling (or placing on indefinite hiatus) their US programs.

It's not going to stop people from Europe etc., but a lot of people might reconsider their holiday plans if on top of everything they have to pay these steep fees.

[-] errer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

But also includes China, one of our largest sources of tourism…

[-] Natanael@infosec.pub 2 points 1 year ago

Europeans still get harassed and randomly arrested. Even Canadians still does.
