Key Points

  • This bill directs U.S. trade officials to create a special team focused on travel and tourism. This team would work within the current trade agreement between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada to make traveling between these three countries easier and more popular for everyone.
  • The goal is to help the tourism industry grow and protect the millions of jobs it supports. In 2024, travel and tourism supported about 15 million American jobs and brought in over $214 billion from international visitors, making it a huge part of the U.S. economy.
  • The new group would include officials from several government departments, like Homeland Security and Transportation. They would meet at least once a year to share information and find ways to make North American travel more competitive with the rest of the world.
  • Since Canada and Mexico provide about half of all international visitors to the U.S., making these trips smoother is a major priority. The group would listen to advice from travel businesses to solve problems that make it hard for people to move across borders for vacation or work.
