Abstract

People in America like to travel. With annual expenditures of $1.3 trillion on travel and tourism, $1 out of every $10 dollars accounted for in the gross domestic product goes toward getting somewhere, staying somewhere, and doing business or having fun while there. We take planes, trains, cars, buses, and boats. We use hotel rooms at an average of two and a half million per day. We shop, visit historical sites, play at theme parks, gamble in casinos, eat in restaurants, engage in athletics, and treat our bodies to rejuvenating spa therapies. Along the way, we generate over $100 billion in tax revenue.
