Tourism to the States

FAST FACTS: UNITED STATES TRAVEL AND TOURISM INDUSTRY

see http://www.tinet.ita.doc.gov/outreachpages/download_data_table/Fast_Facts_2010.pdf for details about travel to the States in 2010. Better than last year, but not as good as before the Bank Crash.

Tourism Promotion for the US

There is a big campaign to promote tourism to the states.

"The travel and tourism industry can play a major role in this export expansion initiative by introducing new travel related goods and services to potential international travelers as well as to professional travel and tourism industry organizations and representatives who will subsequently introduce and sell those U.S. exports around the globe."

See their website at http://www.discoveramericapavilion.travel/ as a venue to standardize US as a tourist destination.
