Travel to the U.S. with confidence: A message for international business travelers

Published August 2025

The United States is open for business and ready to welcome you according to U.S. Travel Association President & CEO Geoff Freeman.

As the world’s most desired destination, the U.S. is taking meaningful steps to ensure a smooth, safe, and efficient travel experience for international visitors. With major global events like the World Cup and Olympics on the horizon, the U.S. Travel Association is working closely with government partners to improve visa processing, streamline customs, and create a more welcoming arrival for business travelers. As you prepare to join us at The Phocuswright Conference in San Diego, you can feel confident that your journey will be worthwhile—and that your presence is vital to shaping the future of global travel.
