US demands social media details from visa applicants

I didn't say anything about accessibility.

I said it has to do with how the country presents itself. If you polled people going to Asia - you'd see a huge # of them would be going to Thailand or Bali (80/20) - likely due to them being portrayed in the media quite a bit. Indonesia is also significantly Muslim.

You seem to be looking for a fight where there isn't one. Maybe you should reconsider your assumptions about Americans.

I am Mexican American, its not an assumption when you lived in the country for most of your life.

I'm not looking for a fight, I am just genuinely interested in why Americans are an under represented group of travelers in the country where I currently live and work.

So far the majority of the replies that attempted to give a reason included the fact that it is a Muslim country, despite that being as true as America being a Christian country.
