Bill > S3787

This bill, titled the "USMCA Travel and Tourism Resiliency Act," directs the United States Trade Representative to prioritize the establishment of a Travel and Tourism Trade Working Group during the next joint review under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), a trade pact between the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The bill emphasizes the significant economic contribution of the travel and tourism industry to the United States, highlighting its role as a top services export and its importance in trade with Canada and Mexico. The proposed Working Group would be co-chaired by representatives from the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with U.S. representation including various government departments, and would be responsible for discussing and pursuing activities to enhance the competitiveness of North American travel and tourism, increase related exports, and foster economic growth. It would also serve as a forum for information exchange and collaboration on policies affecting the industry, including facilitating international visitation, and would meet at least annually, with U.S. representatives regularly briefing Congress on its activities.
