I. Abstract

    The ``Survey of International Air Travelers'' (Survey) program,

[[Page 58244]]

administered by the Office of Travel and Tourism Industries (OTTI) of 
the International Trade Administration provides source data required to 
(1) estimate international travel and passenger fare exports, imports 
and the trade balance for the United States, (2) comply with the U.S. 
Travel Promotion Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111-145), collect, analyze and 
report information to the Corporation for Travel Promotion (CTP), and 
support the National Export Initiative (NEI) to double exports for the 
country, (3) to comply with the 1961, 1981, and 1996 travel and tourism 
related acts to collect and publish comprehensive international travel 
and tourism, statistics and other marketing information, and (4) 
support the continuation of the Travel & Tourism Satellite Accounts for 
the United States, which provide the only spending and employment 
figures for the industry.
    The Survey program contains the core data that is analyzed and 
communicated by OTTI with other government agencies, associations and 
businesses that share the same objective of increasing U.S. 
international travel exports. The Survey assists OTTI in assessing the 
economic impact of international travel on state and local economies, 
providing visitation estimates, key market intelligence, and 
identifying traveler and trip characteristics. The U.S. Department of 
Commerce assists travel industry enterprises to increase international 
travel and passenger fare exports for the country as well as outbound 
travel on U.S. carriers. The Survey program provides the only available 
estimates of nonresident visitation to the states and cities within the 
United States, as well as U.S. resident travel abroad.
    A new survey instrument (questionnaire) (English version plus its 
translations into eleven foreign languages) has been developed that 
reflects input from over 70 respondents, including:
     Travel Industry (airlines, travel associations,

Sources; additional package components, health care/vaccinations/travel 
insurance information; Additional transportation used responses; 
Assessment of the Visitor's Experience; and Intentions for Further

    Survey questions relating to a traveler's general impression of 
their airline carrier, flight connections, several airline rating 
attributes, their baggage delivery wait time, fewer activities, number 
of trips in the last five years, and whether they had personal safety 
concerns have been eliminated from the new Survey questionnaire.
