Yesterday, the Obama Administration announced its National Travel and Tourism Strategy. The Receptive Services Association of America applauds the Administration for recognizing the strategic value of a strong travel and tourism sector and the need for strong action to maintain the USโ€™ place in the global tourism economy.

RSAA will work with its industry partners, public-sector partners, and Visit USA partners around the world to help the administration reach the goal of 100 million inbound visitors by the end of 2021.
