美国商务部副部长斯蒂芬·塞利格（Stefan Selig）10月22日在商务部国际贸易局（International Trade Administration）的新闻发布中宣布，国家旅行和旅游办公室（National Travel and Tourism Office）的数据预计，美国旅游业将在未来六年每年增长平均4%，2014年一年的国际访客人数可望达7390万人。
据包含国际贸易局一年两次发布的统计数字的2014年旅行和旅游秋季预报（Fall 2014 Travel and Tourism Forecast），游客人数将在2019年前呈增长趋势，2014年的访客人数预计会增加6%，进而连续第五年创增长纪录。
塞利格说，“美国去年接待了将近7000万国际访客，而2014年现已超过这个数字”。他表示，“这是佳音”，因为美国正在努力实现欧巴马总统的国家旅游旅行战略（National Tourism and Travel Strategy）目标，争取到2021年使国际来访人数突破一亿。
预计中的未来六年访客人数的增长将会源于全球各地，从加勒比地区（Caribbean）的有限度上升（7%），到很多地区的大幅增长——中东（57%），东欧（49%）、亚洲（47%）、南美（31%）。增长幅度最大的国家将是中国（172%）、哥伦比亚（72%）、印度（47%）、巴西（43%）和墨西哥（38%）。
在新奥尔良（New Orleans）游览的游客可能有机会乘坐美国仍在运转的最古老的圣查理（St. Charles）有轨车。上图是于9月30日被定为国家历史标志的这一有轨车路。国内资源部（Interior Department）表示，这个标志，连同美国各地其他2544个历史标志，对展示和说明美国的历史传统具有特殊的价值和重要性。

The United States is forecasting a 4 percent average annual growth in tourism over the next six years, with 73.9 million foreign travelers expected to visit the country in 2014 alone.
Under Secretary of Commerce Stefan Selig announced the figures, from the National Travel and Tourism Office, in an October 22 news release from the International Trade Administration (ITA), part of the U.S. Department of Commerce.
The Fall 2014 Travel and Tourism Forecast, containing figures ITA releases semiannually, predicts continued growth through 2019. It projects a 6 percent increase in visitors by the end of 2014, producing record numbers for the fifth consecutive year.
“The United States hosted nearly 70 million international visitors last year, and in 2014 we have already exceeded that number,” Selig said. “This is good news,” he said, as the United States strives to meet the challenge of President Obama’s National Travel and Tourism Strategy to bring more than 100 million international visitors to the United States by 2021.
Numbers of tourists from across the globe are projected to grow over the six-year period, ranging from a small increase from the Caribbean (7 percent), to strong growth from the Middle East (57 percent), Eastern Europe (49 percent), Asia (47 percent) and South America (31 percent). Countries with the largest total growth percentages are China (172 percent), Colombia (72 percent), India (47 percent), Brazil (43 percent) and Mexico (38 percent).
A ride on the St. Charles streetcar, part of the oldest operating streetcar system in America, might be in store for visitors to New Orleans. The system, shown above, was designated a national historic landmark on September 30. It joins 2,544 other sites across the country recognized as places that possess exceptional value and quality in illustrating or interpreting U.S. heritage, the Interior Department said.
