The CEO of Marriott notes the US is unresponsive to his industry. He noted that more Chinese visited Paris than the US last year. Yikes, Paris is one of the most expensive cities in the world. He also noted there is no one in this administration with any business experience. He suggested the best way to improve exports would be to make it easier to travel to the US. 

Hmm wasn't this the President that came out against Hawaii and Las Vegas as destinations?  That results in numerous cancelled conventions.

    Yep, back on Nov on 2009 Mr. Marriott stated,”“When (Pres.) Obama got up and told the TARP recipients don’t go to Las Vegas, don’t fly on a corporate jet-that just threw a blanket of despair and dark clouds over the industry,” Marriott said, referring to the Troubled Asset Relief Program. “They killed a lot of jobs in this industry.”
