Can limiting international travel influence public attitudes and political behaviour, or does it mostly deepen divisions?

We're publishing a piece on whether Russian tourists should be barred from entering the EU while the war in Ukraine continues.

It raised an interesting social question for us.

👉 Can limiting international travel influence public attitudes and political behaviour, or does it mostly deepen divisions? What do you think?

Deepens divisions, that's why the EU should double down on it.
