Book Description
Canada and Mexico are the United States' largest trading and travel partners-accounting for one-third of the value of U.S. international trade-and are the top destinations for Americans traveling abroad. Since the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) came into effect in January 1994, Canada's and Mexico's shares of overall U.S. international trade and travel have grown. This cross-border trade and travel represents a large amount of economic activity, commerce, and tourism of benefit to all three countries. As trade and travel increase, questions about how they affect the U.S. transportation system have become prominent (e.g., are facilities at land border crossings, seaports, airports, and intermodal terminals and connectors able to meet passenger and freight demand?). Like other transportation demands, increased trade and travel can affect competition for network space, scheduling, capacity needs, congestion, safety and security, and the environment. Increases in trucks and personal-use vehicles crossing the borders and changes in modal shares could result in bottlenecks at the dominant border crossing points and operational inefficiencies in the movement of people and freight. In addition, heightened security requirements will also affect the flow of goods and people across U.S. borders. This publication examines trends in U.S. international trade and passenger travel with Canada and Mexico. It also reviews modal shares of NAFTA-partner trade and travel, examines the geography of the trade and travel flows, and identifies key influencing factors.

Book Description
This report examines the German long-haul pleasure travel market from the travel industry perspective, studying the role, structure, and perceptions of the industry in Germany (tour operators, travel agencies, airlines) as determined from a survey of industry representatives and in-depth interviews with key players. An overview of the German travel market includes a historical background on the development of the country's outbound travel market, data on current travel patterns and trends, assessment of future growth of German travel, and information on the country's travel trade. This is followed by discussion of the trade's awareness and perceptions of North American travel products and the relative strengths and weaknesses of the United States, Canada, and Mexico as vacation destinations. The final chapter addresses the marketing of North American destinations to German travellers and makes recommendations in the context of the travel product life cycle. The appendix includes a copy of the travel industry survey questionnaire.
