The U.S. Senate passed the Travel Promotion Act by a 78-18 vote.
The legislation, which would create a public-private partnership to promote travel to the U.S., now awaits President Obama’s signature.
“We know how successful a public-private partnership to promote travel can be from our own experience at the state level,” said Caroline Beteta, chair of the U.S. Travel Association and president and CEO of the California Travel & Tourism Commission. “With the best minds coming together from government and private industry to boost international travel to our country, we can make travel an even stronger economic engine for America.”
