USA Inbound: Italy is #6 in the World, #4 in Europe
One out of six adult Italians travels abroad every year. The strong Euro is playing a major role in favor of Italian travel to the U.S. and this trend is expected to continue. Over half a million travelers from Italy visit the United States each year, staying an average of 13 nights and spending more than $2.1 billion or $2,400 per person, making them some of the biggest international spenders. 18% of the Italian U.S. visitors in 2006 purchased a prepaid package. With 533,000 U.S. visitors in 2006, Italy is the #4 U.S. inbound market in Europe and by the year 2011, the number of travelers from Italy is expected to increase by 23%.
