I agree with some things but not all...
American tourists are bargain hunters.
I blame it all on the discount stores (Cost U less etc.)
It is hard to explain, but it is a very important outlook to the future.
Not to get to off topic, dollar stores are everywhere in the USA. It drives me crazy. "I bought this for a dollar". Point is it is a mental not an economic crisis.
To be smart in business you have to do what businesses in NY do and let the consumer believe they are getting a bargain. Just my outlook. Wendy
