Tourism Rises In U.S.

The Commerce Department announced that over 46 million international visitors came to the U.S. last year, up 12% over 2003. The all-time peak for foreign travel to this country was 51.2 million arrivals in 2000, with New York, Florida, and California being the most popular markets.

The Travel Industry Association of America reports that U.S. market share of overall global travel has declined 38% since 1992. Meanwhile international arrivals overall have risen 52%, as many up-and-coming destinations (like Dubai) have poured resources into marketing themselves.
