Global Travel Trends and International Visitation: What Destinations Need to Know Now

Tyler Gosnell, Managing Director of International Inbound Travel at the U.S. Travel Association, will provide an update on the evolving global travel landscape and what it means for U.S. destinations competing for international visitors.

While global travel has rebounded, the United States remains the only major destination in the world where international inbound travel is declining—driven in part by a growing confidence gap around policies, expectations, and the arrival experience. Tyler will discuss how industry leaders are responding to strengthen traveler confidence and clearly communicate that America’s travel industry wants, needs, and welcomes international visitors. The session will also highlight the critical role destinations play in strengthening the United States’ global competitiveness, including improving visibility into international visitation data and ensuring strong industry participation at IPW, the country’s premier international travel marketplace.
