International tourist arrivals surpassed 1 billion by 2012 and continue to increase. In 2013, nearly 24 million U.S. residents traveled abroad for leisure or to visit friends and relatives (http://travel.trade.gov/outreachpages/outbound.general_information.outbound_overview.html). Of these travelers, 35% went to Europe, 27% to the Caribbean, 17% to Asia, 7% each to South America and Central America, 6% to the Middle East, and under 3% to Africa.
