As part of today’s meeting, the President directed his administration to partner with the travel and tourism industry to encourage more international visitors to the U.S., including specific steps to improve accessibility and service levels at U.S. airports. The President has also called on Brand USA the country’s nonprofit travel promotion corporation, to work with federal agencies to increase demand for travel to the U.S. Brand USA is also promoting the country in traditional and emerging markets with representation in nearly 20 international markets. “We applaud the President for his ardent support of the travel and tourism industry as one of the most valuable growth engines of the American economy,” said Tom Klein, CEO and President of Sabre Corporation. “In partnership with the President, Brand USA has exceeded everyone’s expectations in accelerating the volume of international visitors to the United States, adding $7.4 billion to the U.S. economy in 2013 alone.” Klein has worked with Brand USA since its inception in 2010 and currently serves as the organization’s vice chairman. Among the administration’s new steps to jump start international visitors to the U.S., is expediting the entry process for travelers, starting at the 15 largest airports. Officials will use Dallas-Ft. Worth International and Chicago O’Hare airports as examples of how travel industry and airport teams worked together to successfully reduce wait times for international travelers through expedited customs processes and using automated kiosks for passport checks.
