I have a passport, but aside from some half-remembered Spanish courses from high school, I'm completely monolingual.

Sadly, the US prohibits travel to Cuba for vacations, otherwise I'd gladly put some money into their economy.

As far as I’m aware the Seminole Nation doesn’t discourage tourism in the same way indigenous people in Hawai’i do. I am in no way an expert and if I’m wrong I will happily change my tune, but if I understand right the Seminole Nation’s economy is about as reliant on tourism as the rest of the state.

Imo it falls into the “no ethical consumption under capitalism” bucket but not the “especially unethical consumption even within capitalism” one.

There’s the other argument that giving money to US companies is particularly bad, but that is a bit hard to get around when you live here. So “no ethical consumption”
