This proposed legislation, titled the "Vital Investment in Sustaining International Tourism to the USA Act" or "VISIT USA Act," directs the Secretary of the Treasury to transfer a significant sum of money. Specifically, it mandates the transfer of $160,000,000 to the Corporation for Travel Promotion, commonly known as Brand USA . The funds for this transfer will come from unobligated balances remaining in the Travel Promotion Fund , which were collected from fees before October 1, 2025. This transfer must be completed within 30 days of the bill's enactment. Notably, this particular transfer is exempt from the maximum transfer amount limitation typically imposed on the Travel Promotion Fund, ensuring the full amount can be moved. However, other provisions, such as matching requirements and carryforward rules , will still apply to these funds once they are made available to Brand USA.
