Europeans complain about U.S. travel fees

Disclaimer: I am European, live in Europe and never visited US.
But US is surely a place to visit someday. And when you visit a country you expect to be welcome. If US government wants more revenue from visitors, they they need more visitors, which means spending more in promotion, ahead of a larger income. Saying you are going to charge $10 more to welcome visitors is not good advertising...
10 dollars per person might not be that much money anyway, and that's why this bad advertising is probably not worth it.
