You will see the I-92 departures data for U.S. citizens shows that total outbound traffic has grown by 7% over January-October 1997. Europe is the largest generator of air traffic at 9.5 million travelers, up over 9% for the period. Central America has seen the fast growth, at almost 20% through October 1998, although it is only the fifth largest region for overseas travel. Overseas excludes Canada and Mexico.
