Wednesday, February 03, 2010 Coming to America

US Travel Association urged the US Government to more widely promote its new Electronic System for Travel Authorization. The system is used foreign tourists who are not required to obtain a visa to travel to the US. They will be required to register with the system.

Few foreign tourists appear to be aware of the program. From March 20 2010 carriers will face large fines if they allow tourists to board without registering.

So if you plan to visit the US, just register here. Then the DHS and TSA can do their homework, get to know in a digital sense, and the rest of us Americans can welcome you on the other side of the FIS at our airports.
