The U.S. Travel and Tourism Advisory Board consists
of 14 executives from prominent travel and tourism businesses
and organizations. It was formed by Secretary of Commerce
Carlos M. Gutierrez in late 2005 and charged with the
task of assessing the current competitive environment
for the U.S. travel and tourism industry. This report
makes recommendations in three areas: (1) making it
easier for visitors to come to the United States; (2)
creating a nationally coordinated marketing plan; and
(3) measuring the economic impact of the travel and
tourism industry.
