International trips made by the President of the United States have become a valuable part of U.S. diplomacy and international relations since such trips were first made in the early 20th century. They are complicated undertakings that require months of planning along with a great deal of coordination and communication. They also involve much ceremony and fuss. In the 19th century, American social convention made international travel by politicians taboo. Domestic travel was regarded as a welcome opportunity for presidents to talk with the people who had elected them, but foreign travel was seen in an altogether different light. The general public did not want their president mingling with royalty, visiting grand palaces, or exchanging bows with kings and queens. This taboo began to erode and break down in the early 20th century, as policy makers at the federal level began to reevaluate the nation 's role in international affairs. The first international presidential trip, Theodore Roosevelt 's 1906 visit to Panama, signaled a new era in how presidents conducted diplomatic relations with other countries. Woodrow Wilson 's trips to Europe in the Aftermath of World War I and his promotion of his own principles for world peace sealed the old taboo 's fate. Changing transportation technologies also played a role in the changing patterns of presidential travel as well. When Wilson traveled to Europe in 1919 aboard the George Washington, the voyage took nine days. Forty years later, Dwight Eisenhower made the same trip by jet in nine hours. Jet aircraft enabled American presidents to travel the globe in ways that would have been impractical if not inconceivable before. While Eisenhower was the first president to travel by jet ( and the first to travel via helicopter as well ), the first airplane trips by a sitting president were those of Franklin D. Roosevelt. He made multiple long distance trips abroad by plane, each one an offshoot of Allied diplomatic interactions during World War II. President John F. Kennedy had one of the most memorable trips to Europe during the summer of 1963, only a few months before he was assassinated. His successor, Lyndon B. Johnson preferred travel to Asia. Richard Nixon set a number of firsts, in particular China. Jimmy Carter spent a great deal of time in the Middle East and went on the first state visit to Africa. Ronald Reagan had a number of noteworthy state visits, particularly his summit meetings with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. The frequency and travel distance of presidential international travel has increased dramatically since George H.W. Bush became president in 1989. In 1990 the military version of the Boeing 747, the VC - 25, was introduced for the use of the president. The planes have over 4,000 square feet ( 372 m ) of floor space, a bedroom and a shower, and enough secure communications to allow the plane to be a reasonable place to run the country. The plane is accompanied by a heavy lift aircraft that carries the helicopters and the limousines. Presidents Bill Clinton ( 1993 -- 2001 ) and George W. Bush ( 2001 -- 2009 ) each visited 74 different countries during their respective terms of office. All totaled, they went to 94 different countries with a combined population of 85 % of the world total. President Barack Obama ( 2009 -- 2017 ) visited 58 different countries. Presidential visits of over 10,000 miles ( 16,093 km ) are common. Round the world trips were first done by Johnson and Nixon and have been done by presidents Bush and Clinton. Trips to Europe and Asia are becoming almost routine in the 21st century. Contents 1 Theodore Roosevelt 2 William Howard Taft 3 Woodrow Wilson 4 Warren G.
