Federal Register Notice Requesting Comments on Survey of International Air Travelers Program

The International Trade Administration’s National Travel and Tourism Office (NTTO) is seeking to renew the SIAT program. As part of this process, the Office of Management and Budget has published a Federal Register Notice to obtain public comments on the program under review by July 22, 2024.

The SIAT is an on-going primary research program managed by NTTO that gathers statistical data about air passenger travelers in U.S. - international markets. Survey data provides information on passenger trip planning, travel patterns, demographics, and spending for two separate populations – non-U.S. residents traveling to the United States and U.S. residents departing from the United States to international destinations.

The SIAT has been conducted on a continuous monthly basis since January 1983. Survey data, which can be used to analyze specific visitor segments, is a source of information for travel planners, marketers, and policymakers.
