Congresswoman Dina Titus introduced legislation today to strengthen travel and tourism ties among the United States, Mexico, and Canada by directing the U.S. Trade Representative to convene a working group to develop new travel and tourism strategies.

“President Trump has alienated Canada and Mexico through his words and policies,” Congresswoman Titus said. “We need to rebuild our relationships with two of our largest tourism partners to restore travel to Las Vegas and other destinations. Our tourism economy declined in 2025, costing us jobs and revenue. Half of our international visitors come from Canada and Mexico. We need to win them back.” 

The USMCA Travel and Tourism Resiliency Act would establish a working group under the auspices of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Representation from the U.S. would include members from the Departments of Commerce, State, Homeland Security, Interior, Labor and Transportation working under the umbrella of the Office of United States Trade. The working group would gather input and advice from trade and tourism companies and formulate strategies to enhance the international competitiveness of the travel and tourism industry in North America, with the goals of creating employment and economic growth.

Travel is America’s top services export and a major engine of jobs and economic growth nationwide. As international visitation to the United States declines, this bipartisan legislation ensures travel and tourism remain a priority in the upcoming USMCA joint review.
