Travel (Englishen_US)

For Americans, as for people almost everywhere, travel is fun and mind-expanding. For the State Department, though, travel and geography are serious business. The Department has an official geographer, and deploys foreign service officers around the globe. Travel itself, in terms of tourism to the United States, and travel by U.S. citizens abroad, is also very much a part of the Department’s business, and the policy priority known as Economic Statecraft. The collections in this category deal with the geography of the United States and the world, as well as travel and tourism to the States. There’s no better time than now to Discover America, and these collections offer useful materials to support “Discover America” programs, or to introduce your visitors to the beauty of American landscapes, and popular destinations such as the national parks.
