Bill > HR7454

This bill, titled the "USMCA Travel and Tourism Resiliency Act," directs the United States Trade Representative to prioritize the formation 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, Canada, and Mexico. The bill emphasizes the significant economic contributions of the travel and tourism industry to the United States, noting its role as a top services export and its reliance on visitors from Canada and Mexico. The proposed Working Group would be co-chaired by representatives from the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and would include officials from various U.S. government departments, including Commerce, State, and Homeland Security. Its purpose would be to enhance the competitiveness of North American travel and tourism, increase exports of these services, and foster economic growth and job creation. The Working Group would also serve as a forum for information exchange and collaboration on policies affecting travel and tourism in North America, including facilitating international visitation, and would be required to meet at least annually and regularly brief Congress on its activities.
