The International Visitor Arrivals Program provides the U.S. government and the public with the official monthly and annual overseas visitor arrivals to the United States. The Office of Travel & Tourism Industries (OTTI) manages the program in cooperation with the Department of homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Data are reported in a monthly publication "Summary of International Travel to the United States" - highlighting overseas visitor arrivals by country of residence, ports of entry, mode of transportation, type of visa, and more. Subscribers include: airlines, airports, U.S. destinations - state and city, major attractions, federal and state governments and consultants. Canadian and Mexican arrival data are sourced from Stats Canada and Banco de Mexico, respectively.

• Release Schedule
  
  OTTI's release schedule is dependent on the DHS I-94 monthly processing cycle. Normally data are received from DHS about 40 days after the travel month (i.e., December arrival data would be received by OTTI on/about February 7th). These data are then edited and processed into the reporting templates. The release of the data is also dependent on receipt of Canadian and Mexican resident data from Stats Canada and Banco de Mexico, respectively.
