Joe Heim reports:
Luria, who has shepherded tens of thousands of clients over the years, was hopeful his business might get a boost in 2026 as Washington celebrated America’s 250th anniversary. Instead, it has mostly been a bust. 
And it isn’t just Luria feeling the pain. Tour guides across the District say their business has cratered this year, in some cases as much as 70 percent as a number of Washington’s iconic sites are closed, under construction or awaiting repairs. Adding to the downturn, guides say, is that many tourists, particularly international visitors, are angered by President Donald Trump’s attacks on longtime allies, the imposition of hard-hitting tariffs, and the administration’s visa and immigration policies.  [emphasis added]
