Canadian visitors opened their wallets wider than ever in 2011, spending a record-breaking $24.0 billion
on travel and tourism-related goods and services in the United States. As a result, our favorable balance of
trade has never been better; the United States enjoys a $16.3 billion travel and tourism trade surplus with
Canada. In fact, travel and tourism exports account for 43% of all U.S. services exports to Canada.
Japanese visitor spending in the United States increased 2% in 2011, following an increase of nearly 11%
in 2010. Despite these much-welcomed back-to-back years of growth, U.S. travel and tourism exports to
Japan are still off more than 17% from their peak in 1995 when Japanese visitors spent a record-breaking
$17.8 billion. Travel and tourism exports account for 33% of all U.S. services exports to Japan.
U.K. visitor spending in the United States increased nearly 6% in 2011, following a small decline of 1%
the previous year. Total U.S. travel and tourism-related exports to the United Kingdom have declined
more than 28% since 2008, the year in which U.K. visitor spending peaked at $16.7 billion. Travel and
tourism exports account for 23% of all U.S. services exports to the United Kingdom.

Visitors from Mexico spent $9.2 billion experiencing the United States in 2011, an increase of 6% when
compared to 2010. Although 2011 marks the second consecutive year of growth in U.S. travel and
tourism-related exports to Mexico, this market has not fully recovered from the substantial downturn in
2009 (-17%). Travel and tourism exports account for 37% of all U.S. services exports to Mexico.

Talk about a growth market. 2011 marks the 8th consecutive year of double-digit growth in U.S. travel
and tourism exports to Brazil. Visitors from Brazil spent a record-breaking $8.5 billion on travel to, and
tourism-related activities within, the United States in 2011, an increase of 36% that follows an increase of
36% in 2010. Travel and tourism exports account for 39% of all U.S. services exports to Brazil.
Visitors from China spent a record-breaking $7.7 billion in the United States last year, positioning China
well ahead of Germany in rankings of top markets for the first time ever. Moreover, U.S. travel and tourism exports to China have increased by at least 30% in seven of the last eight years! Travel and tourism
exports account for 29% of all U.S. services exports to China.
German visitor spending in the United States increased 12% in 2011, following an increase of 1% in
2010. The increase in spending was not, however, enough to maintain their position in the rankings,
dropping from 6th to 7th in terms of total spending in the United States. Travel and tourism exports account for 25% of all U.S. services exports to Germany.

U.S. travel and tourism exports to France rose 18% in 2011 to a record-breaking $5.0 billion. Passenger
fare exports have never been higher, either. In 2011 U.S. carriers received a record-breaking $1.2 billion
from travelers from France, an increase of more than 24% when compared to 2010. Travel and tourism
exports account for 28% of all U.S. services exports to France.

Visitors from Australia spent a record-breaking $5.0 billion on U.S. travel and tourism-related goods and
services in 2011, propelling Australia up in the rankings ahead of India. This represents an increase of
more than 22% when compared to 2010 and the second consecutive year exhibiting double-digit growth.
Travel and tourism exports account for nearly a third (30%) of all U.S. services exports to Australia.

Visitors from India spent a record-breaking $4.4 billion in the United States in 2011, an increase of nearly
10% when compared to 2010. Annual U.S. travel and tourism exports to India have risen by double-digits
in seven of the last eight years. Travel and tourism exports account for 40% of all U.S. services exports to
India.
