PIERRE, SD (KELO.com) — International political tensions may take a big bite out of South Dakota’s tourism industry this year. State Tourism Secretary Jim Hagen says international visits to the U-S are down by about 14 percent compared to last year at this time. The state’s tourism outlook is still steady right now, but there are concerns about the international travel trends. International visitors generated more than 80-million dollars in South Dakota’s tourism industry last year.
