Business Wire
NYSE Euronext (NYX) has joined the Discover America Partnership,
an intensive advocacy and grassroots campaign to grow U.S. exports
and jobs through visa and entry reforms that will enable the United
States to regain the 17 percent market share of overseas travelers
it had in 2000 by 2015.
“By making it unnecessarily difficult – or in many cases
financially impossible – for millions of people to visit the U.S.,
we are needlessly damaging our economy, deepening our trade deficit
and slowing one of the most powerful engines of U.S. exports:
travel,” said Roger Dow, president and CEO of the U.S. Travel
Association and chair of the Discover America Partnership. “We
welcome NYSE Euronext to the Discover America Partnership and look
forward to working with them as we bring attention to the issue of
U.S. exports.”
“We are delighted to join the Discover America Partnership and
support its efforts toward improving travel to the U.S.,” said
Scott Cutler, Executive Vice President and Co-Head of U.S. Listings
and Cash Execution at NYSE Euronext. “The travel industry generates
an estimated $1.9 trillion in U.S. economic output and helps drive
performance at nearly 350 companies listed on NYSE Euronext
exchanges. Ensuring thoughtful and prudent travel policies is vital
to the success of global competitiveness, economic well being and
job creation. “
The Partnership’s campaign initiatives include:
- Educating policymakers and opinion
leaders on the economic significance of tourism and business
travel to the United States;
- Highlighting the barriers that prevent
the United States from maximizing its potential in the global
travel market; and
- Presenting high-impact solutions with
low or no cost that will enable the United States to create
hundreds of thousands of sustainable American jobs.
U.S. Travel reactivated the Discover America
Partnership in May 2011 to unite a diverse group of
stakeholders behind a focused and intensive campaign to advance
recommendations in U.S. Travel’s “Ready for Takeoff” report on the
U.S. visa system.
