While 2025 saw the best year ever for the Travel & Tourism sector in terms of GDP growth of 4.1%, the story was very different for North America, which was the slowest-growing region globally, rising just 1.0%, and by only 0.9% in the U.S. Fri, 17 Apr 2026 06:02:49 +0000 https://www.breakingtravelnews.com/news/article/brand-usa-launches-america-the-beautiful-global-tourism-campaign/ https://www.breakingtravelnews.com/news/article/brand-usa-launches-america-the-beautiful-global-tourism-campaign/ Brand USA, the destination marketing organization for the United States, today launched America the Beautiful, a global tourism marketing campaign and platform that represents the organization’s most ambitious marketing initiative to date. The campaign debuts during this week’s Brand USA Travel Week U.K. and Europe, now in its seventh year, which connects U.S. destinations with leading international buyers and media from 20 countries. Today’s announcement comes as international travel continues to drive meaningful economic impact. Year-to-date through July, travel and tourism exports totaled $147 billion, up two percent year-over-year. That spending is projected to generate approximately $39.6 billion in federal tax revenue by year’s end, support millions of American jobs, and contribute to a total economic impact of $551 billion in 2025. The campaign is strategically timed to build on that momentum and accelerate growth ahead of 2026, a milestone year marked by the FIFA World Cup, America’s 250th anniversary, and the Route 66 centennial.
