Overseas travel to the US is being boosted by the weaker dollar.
The Travel Industry Association (TIA) says the US is on track to have the first increase in inbound travel since 9-11.
Said Cathy Keefe, a spokesperson for the TIA:
“What is fueling this is a combination of pent-up demand for travel to the US and phenomenal exchange rates.”
The TIA predicts the US will host 43.5 million international tourists this in 2004, up 7.5% from the previous year. The record was 2000, when the US hosted 51 million foreign visitors.
The US dollar is near an all-time low against the euro.
