Some research organizations surveyed various
countries as to their level of acceptance of American tourists. They found 25
countries where not all residents think Americans are welcomed.
Considering that there are 195 countries in the world, this lack of enthusiasm
for Americans is in less than one eighth of all countries, which may not sound substantial.
However, when we realize that beside of Iraq, Syria and Palestine, there are
European countries such as Germany, Austria, and even our neighbor Canada in
this list, one must check the cause, reason, or motivation. Of course, like
everything else, there are not one or two reasons, but a combination of several
facts. The remarkable thing is that when we find the grounds, we realize that
none of the explanations has anything to do with ordinary American tourists,
but it has everything to do with the U.S. government.
