Germans Put Off from Visiting U.S. by Iraq War
Germans have been put off visiting the United States due to the U.S.-led war against Iraq and are more likely to visit France because of its anti-war stance, a poll showed on Tuesday. The survey of almost 3,000 German, Dutch and British conducted in May by NFO Infratest showed Spain as the most popular holiday destination for all three nationalities. 45 percent of Germans surveyed said they were discouraged from taking a trip to the United States by Washington's decision to go to war in Iraq, compared to just 28 percent of Dutch and 16 percent of the British polled. Meanwhile, 20 percent of Germans said they would be more likely to visit France due to its anti-war position. Germans "visiting" France, Dad must have left them the maps. "Just drive west, turn left at Belgium." Posted by: Steve 2003-06-18 |
