华盛顿——一项新的预测显示，继2012年破纪录的水平之后，美国旅行和旅游业强有力的增长势头将继续保持到2018年。
美国商业部（U.S. Commerce Department）在6月10日的新闻稿中说，国际旅行和旅游业的开支达到创纪录的1,681亿美元，比2011年增长10%。这是来美访客人数猛增的结果：2012年，来美访客人数达到创纪录的6,700万人次，比2011年增加了430万人。
2012年来访人数最多的国家是，加拿大，访客达创纪录的2,270万，增长6%；墨西哥占第二位，达创纪录的1,450万人，增长8%；名列前5位的其他国家是英国（减少2%），日本（增长14%），德国（增长3%）。
在2012年访客人数名列前20位的国家中，增长幅度最大的有：中国（增长35%）、哥伦比亚（增长21%）、委内瑞拉和阿根廷（均增长20%）和巴西（增长19%）。所有这5个国家2012年来美访客的人数都达到创纪录的水平。
主管国际贸易的商业部副部长弗朗西斯科•桑切斯（Francisco Sanchez）说：“这些结果说明，随着本届政府继续致力于让美国更受世界各地访客的欢迎，总统的国家旅行旅游战略（National Travel and Tourism Strategy）正在取得成效。”
国家旅行旅游战略规定了一个目标，即到2021年底，每年吸引和欢迎1亿国际访客。
根据商业部的预测，在未来的6年中，美国旅游业预期可以每年增长4%， 2013年将有6,960万外国旅行者来美访问。
除西班牙外，所有40个访客来源最大的国家预计从2012年至2018年将保持增长势头。总人数增长幅度最大的国家是中国（增长229%）、沙特阿拉伯（增长191%）、俄罗斯（增长79%）、巴西（增长66%）、阿根廷（增长65%）、哥伦比亚（增长加54%）、印度（增长43%）、南韩（增长43%）和澳大利亚（增长39%）。

Washington — A new forecast suggests continued strong growth in travel and tourism to the United States through 2018, following a record-breaking year in 2012.
International travel and tourism spending reached a record $168.1 billion, up 10 percent from 2011, the U.S. Commerce Department said in a June 10 press release. The increase was the result of a surge in international visitors to the United States: In 2012, a record 67.0 million came to the United States, an increase of 4.3 million from 2011.
Highlights of the 2012 arrivals data show that Canadian visitors set a record with 22.7 million visitors, up 6 percent. Mexico was second with a record 14.5 million arrivals, up 8 percent. The United Kingdom (-2 percent), Japan (+14 percent), and Germany (+3 percent) rounded out the top five.
Countries among the top 20 with the largest increase in 2012 were China (+35 percent), Colombia (+21 percent), Venezuela and Argentina (both up 20 percent), and Brazil (+19 percent). All five countries set records for visits to the United States in 2012.
“These results show that the president’s National Travel and Tourism Strategy is working as the administration continues to focus its efforts to make America more welcoming to visitors from all around the world,” said Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade Francisco Sánchez.
The National Travel and Tourism Strategy establishes a goal of attracting and welcoming 100 million international visitors annually by the end of 2021.
According to the Commerce Department forecast, the United States can expect an average of 4 percent annual growth in tourism during the next six years, and in 2013, 69.6 million foreign travelers are projected to visit the United States.
All but one of the top 40 visitor-origin countries are forecast to grow from 2012 through 2018 (Spain is the exception). Countries with the largest total growth percentages are China (+229 percent), Saudi Arabia (+191 percent), Russia (+79 percent), Brazil (+66 percent), Argentina (+65 percent), Colombia (+54 percent), India (+43 percent), South Korea (+43 percent) and Australia (+39 percent).
