QUICK NEWS: US Expects to Surpass Ambitious Tourism Goal Ahead of Schedule, Anticipating 91 Million Visitors by 2026

Sec of Commerce Gina Raimondo: 

“Thanks to the steadfast leadership and efforts of the #BidenHarris Administration, travel and tourism continue to be critical drivers of economic growth and employment across the United States, supporting 9.5 million American jobs and $2.3 trillion of economic output per year. But our work is far from over.

The Commerce Department is taking decisive actions to support the travel and tourism industry’s recovery from the economic challenges of a global pandemic, and we will continue working with state and local governments and private sector partners to welcome more international visitors to the U.S. so they can experience the diversity, beauty, and hospitality that make our country the premier travel and tourism destination in the world.”
