TInet: International Travel and Forecast for the US
Twice a year Tourism Industries conducts an econometric-based forecast of tourism arrivals to the U.S. from more than 20 primary and secondary international markets. The program provides forecasted arrivals for a 3 year horizon. Outbound international travel is forecast or reported for Mexico, Canada and overseas travel only.

The release of the forecast data is timed to coincide with the Pow Wow conference in May, and the Outlook Forum in October each year. The data is presented at the two conferences and then printed and posted on our web site. Below are the graphics and written text describing each graphic. You can view, and print each graphic separately or order a printed copy from TI.
