It’s been over a year since the United States closed its borders to many areas of the world. However, as the vaccines roll out worldwide, it begs the question—when, and how, can people visit the U.S. again?

U.S. Travel Association’s President and CEO Roger Dow and Executive Vice President of Public Affairs and Policy Tori Emerson Barnes sit down with IPW Daily to discuss efforts underway to reopen international inbound travel.

Romain Chéreau, sales director of Cercle des Vacances, shares insights on French traveler trends—and why IPW 2021 is a must-attend event.

When we gathered in Anaheim at IPW 2019, a global pandemic was not on our list of concerns for the upcoming year. Yet, just seven months later, a pandemic brought our industry to its knees. The impacts have been unprecedented. The number one priority remains getting on top of the pandemic. As more and more people are vaccinated, we can now see a light at the end of that tunnel.
