A new survey by Milieu Insight reveals that over 90% of travelers from Southeast Asia consider the prevalence of guns in the United States when deciding whether to visit. While Hawaii was perceived as the safest state, Texas ranked as the least safe.
More than 90% of travelers from Southeast Asia say that gun prevalence in the United States influences whether they will visit, according to a new survey.
However, nearly 80% said the likelihood that they would attend a mass gathering — such as a concert or music festival — would be greatly or moderately affected by the number of guns in the United States.The survey was conducted in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Philippines and Thailand from Sept.
Half of those surveyed said they have been to the United States. But a prior visit didn't calm Singaporeans' worries about gun violence to the same extent as other nationalities. Some 25% of all respondents said a prior visit helped ease their concerns, but only 4% in Singapore said they are"much more likely to visit again as my concerns about gun violence have decreased."More than a quarter of respondents said the outcome of the U.S.
More than two-thirds of respondents said they had heard about"migrant crime" — a term coined by Trump and hailed as part of his anti-immigration stance. However, data from major-city police departments showSoutheast Asians also expressed significant concerns about being victims of physical violence in the U.S. based on their race.
