US Travel & Tourism on Pace for Record-Setting Year 

 

The U.S. travel and tourism industry is looking at a record-setting year, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced July 13, with both spending and visitor numbers well above last year's figures. According to Acting Commerce Secretary Rebecca Blank, international visitors spent nearly $14 billion in travel to, and tourism-related activities within the U.S. in May. That's 8 percent more than last May. This puts the U.S. on pace for a record-setting year with international visitors having spent more than $68 billion this year to date, up 12 percent compared to 2011.
