    What’s funny is that a lot of countries do something like this, but it’s always a far lower price that is insignificant compared to the total vacation cost.

    $250 on the other hand is so high that it would impact your vacation budget, specially for the US as it’s selling point is has been that it’s cheap compared to EU or other developed countries.

      US cheap? 10 bucks a beer cheap? I get five beers and five meals for that price in some areas of Europe.

        A trip to Florida is so cheap for my Canadian standards.

        I’m talking about flights, hotels and food compared to Western Europe.

        I do understand Europe has cheap places and US has expensive ones, the above analysis is more about the past (from Canadian eyes) and not what US has turned into.
