Bill > S3220

This bill, known as the VISIT USA Act (Vital Investment in Sustaining International Tourism to the USA Act), authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to transfer $160,000,000 from the Travel Promotion Fund to Brand USA, a nonprofit organization responsible for promoting international tourism to the United States. The transfer must occur within 30 days of the Act's enactment and will use unobligated balances from fees collected through the Visa Waiver Program before October 1, 2025. The bill specifically exempts this transfer from the usual maximum transfer amount limitations and ensures that the standard matching requirements and carryforward provisions of the Travel Promotion Act of 2009 will still apply to these funds. This transfer is designed to support Brand USA's efforts to attract international visitors and promote tourism to the United States, potentially boosting the country's travel and hospitality industries.
