available estimates of nonresident
visitation to the states and cities within
the United States, as well as U.S.
resident travel abroad.
The Survey also assists OTTI in
producing in-depth statistical reports,
fact sheets and briefings on economic
factors and policy issues affecting U.S.
industries. With the Survey statistical
data not replicable by private sector
trade associations or by private firms,
Federal agencies, Congress and
international organizations rely on these
statistic-based tools, as do American
businesses, state and local governments,
and news organizations.
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 segments of the travel
industry (airlines, travel associations,
destinations, lodging); consultants;
financial firms; educational institutions;
and U.S. government agencies. Also,
this new Survey questionnaire reflects
changes in various questions relating to
trip purpose; payment methods;
booking/information sources; additional
package components, health care/
vaccinations/travel insurance
information; additional transportation
used responses; assessment of the
visitor’s experience; intentions for
further travel to the United States; and
ethnicity/race. Survey questions relating
to a traveler’s general impression of
their airline carrier, flight connections,
several airline rating attributes, baggage
delivery wait time, selected activities,
number of trips in the last five years,
and whether they had personal safety
concerns were eliminated from the new
Survey questionnaire.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households: International travelers
departing the United States 18 years or
older which includes U.S. and non-U.S.
residents for all countries except
Canada.
Frequency: Monthly.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
