South Florida Sun-Sentinel: Americans, Floridians Losing Battle for International Tourists

Excerpt: “Eager to get a bigger share of this business, tourism leaders are lobbying for passage of the Travel Promotion Act, a bill in Congress designed to launch U.S. advertising campaigns around the world, ease the process of getting into this country and show a more welcoming face to foreigners…. The legislation stands an excellent chance of passage.
