Etats-Unis : United States Travel and Tourism Exports : November 2011
The U.S. Department of Commerce recently announced that international visitors spent $12.7 billion on travel to, and tourism-related activities within, the United States during the month of November - $1.1 billion more (10%) than was spent in November 2010.
Travel and tourism-related exports have increased, on average, more than $1.5 billion a month in 2011 and are on pace to break the record previously set in 2008 before the onset of global economic slowdown.
Despite the recent slowing of the monthly growth in tourism-related exports, the Office of Travel and Tourism Industries still expects industry-related exports to surpass $152 billion for 2011.
