美旅游的人一年比一年多。
在美国堪萨斯州斯特灵（Sterling, Kansas）附近的基维拉国家野生动物保护区（Quivira National Wildlife Refuge），蓝翅鸭在大盐沼低空掠过。每年大量游客来到这个野生动物保护区观赏鸟类的迁移活动。来美旅游的人一年比一年多。据美国商务9月19日提供的消息，今年7月份国际游客来美和在美国境内旅游的总开支约为137亿美元，比2011年7月增加3.5亿美元（增长3%）。
来美旅游人数增长的原因之一是不是因为美国制定了国家旅游旅行战略(National Tourism and Travel Strategy) ？这个战略要求改善签证手续和对来美的外国游客表示欢迎等。9月19日公布的报告指出在这两方面都取得了进展。
截至目前为止，今年国际访客已经在来美旅游和购买与旅游有关的产品和服务方面花费了954亿美元，比2011年增长9%以上。

International Visitors Flocking to U.S.

The number of tourists visiting the United States is growing.
Blue-winged teal ducks take flight over the Big Salt Marsh at the Quivira National Wildlife Refuge near Sterling, Kansas. Tourists flock to the wildlife refuge each year to see the bird migration. And the number of tourists going there and everywhere in the United States is growing. International visitors spent an estimated $13.7 billion on travel to and tourism within the United States during July — $350 million (3 percent) more than in July 2011, the Commerce Department said September 19.
Are the numbers growing in part because of the U.S. National Travel and Tourism Strategy? Among the strategy’s efforts are improving visa processing and the greeting of foreign visitors when they arrive in the United States. A progress report on that effort released September 19 outlines advances made in both.
Year to date, international visitors have spent an estimated $95.4 billion on U.S. travel and tourism-related goods and services — an increase of more than 9 percent from 2011.
