Overseas Tourism is Big Business for the USA
Overseas visitors stay longer and spend more money in the Capital Region than visitors from the USA. In 2015, a record 2.6 million overseas travelers visited the Capital Region USA (CRUSA), stayed an average of 9 nights and spent a record $2 billion on hotels, meals, shopping, attractions and other goods and services across Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia. These overseas visitors helped to generate nearly 39,000 jobs throughout the Capital Region.
