New fee for tourists

What’s wrong with the USA? Tourists should pay $10 to visit a country? What’s next? Do I have to pay $2 dollars a day to use the pavements? The idea behind this is that US taxpayers should no longer pay for promoting tourism. So the fee goes to a found used to pay this. In my eyes this is completely stupid. I mean all visitors in the USA pay a lot, for food, for hotels or what ever. Each tourist helps to save jobs in the US and all people in these jobs pay taxes. For me another question is, what the definition of a “tourist” is. If I have to visit the USA 5 times a year, maybe because of conferences or something for my job, do I have to pay $50 a year for that nonsense?
