Too-Hot Eiffel Tower, Brand USA Budget Anxieties and a Scrapped Climate Fee
A scorching heatwave has forced the Eiffel Tower to temporarily close its summit and led other European landmarks, like Brussels’ Atomium, to reduce hours, while several countries have issued heat-related travel advisories. Meanwhile, the U.S. Senate narrowly passed a bill slashing Brand USA’s funding from $100 million to $20 million, putting the tourism organization at risk of downsizing amid an ongoing budget crisis. Lastly, Sweden has abolished its air travel tax, drawing praise from airlines that plan to expand operations in the country while seeking to improve their climate impact strategies.
