Europe Is Wooinq Tourists
BY SYLVIA PORTER

We don't need laws restrict
ing what we can spend on
travel abroad. Until the def
cit is eliminated, We can help
by deciding on our own to take
vacations within our borders.
We don't need formal moves
to prevent us from spending
vast amounts on such largL
items as foreign cars. Until
the deficit is ended, we can
help by deciding q United

U. S. Is Backward
AS for encouraging more
foreign travel here. let's face it
we've been shockingly SNUG
and backward in our promo
ton of it.
All major nations agrees
sively WOO us as tourists with
intriguing literature. advertiS-
ing campaigns, special gim-
micks, etc. We've done next
to nothing to WOO foreign
tourists.
All major nations make II
exceedingly easy for US to get
in as tourists. We go out Of
our way to make It tough for
foreign tourists to come here.
Mr.. Kennedy'S call for action
to simplify our visa and entry
procedures for temporary visi-
tors" is far, far overdue.
All major nations maintain
excellent travel offices here
We've been ridiculously lax in
establishing our travel offices
abroad.
All major nations use to
their advantage the freedom
we have to travel abroad,
while many rigidly restrict the
freedom of their own citizens
to travel to us. Their barriers
against us are obsolete.
Most authorities expect only
minor" help from changes in
what United States tourists
spend on foreign travel and
duty-free imports and what
foreign tourists spend on
United States travel and goods.
1 think they'll be astounded at
how major" the help can be
if we only apply our genius for
salesmanship and we wake up
to how much we alone can
achieve.
