"Welcome to U.S.A.! Major credit cards accepted!"
By the million they are coming — no longer the tired, the poor, the wretched masses longing for the better living. There are the wealthy. "We don’t have budget," says a biologist from Brazil, as she walks with two companies through New York City’s south street, "we just use our credit cards."
The US has long been of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, but this year has been exceptional. First there was the world Cup, which draws thousands from every corner of the globe; then came the weakening of the US dollar against major currencies. Now the US, still the world’s superpower, can also claim to be the world’s bargain basement. Nobody undersells American these days on just about everything, from customer electronics to fashion clothes to tennis rackets. Bottom retail prices — anywhere from 30% to 70% lower than those in Europe and Asia — have attracted some 47 million visitors, who are expected to leave behind 79 billion dollars in 1994. That’s up from 74 billion dollars the year before.
True, not everyone comes just for bargains. There remains an undeniable fascination in the rest of the world with all things American, nourished by Hollywood films and US television series. But shopping in the U. S. A. is proving irresistible. Every week thousands arrive with empty suitcases ready to be filled; some even rent an additional hotel room to hold their purchases. The buying binge has become as important as watching Old Faithful Fountains erupt in Yellowstone Park or sunbathing on a breath in Florida.
The US has come at least to appreciate what other countries learned long ago: the pouring in of foreign tourists may not always be convenient, but it does put money in the bank. And with a trade deficit at about 130 billion dollars and growing for the past 12 months, the US needs all the deposits it can get. Compared with American tourists abroad, visitors to the US stay long and spend more money at each stop; an average of 12. 2 night and 1,624 dollars a traveler versus the Americans’ four nights and 298 dollars.
From the whole passage we can infer that tourism in America is ______.
