The more specific objectives of the Division are: • To analyze and describe all dimensions of both the international and domestic travel markets • To make recommendations on the effective allo- cations of USTS resources by such activities as: (1) identifying those markets possessing high potential for tourism to the U.S.; (2) recom- mending viable alternate marketing programs based on researched market needs; and (3) measuring the degree to which USTS marketing programs achieved their goals. • To improve the reliability, comparability, and comprehensiveness of tourism data The Office works toward these objectives in three ways: 1. Through the collection, extraction, and inter- pretive analysis of existing Government forms and published data, the Office can identify and describe the international travel market, the position of the U.S. relative to this market, and isolate those countries and market seg- ments within them which offer the greatest potential for travel to the U.S. 2. Through primary market research studies, in- formation is obtained on demographic, atti- tudinal, and trip characteristics of travelers to the U.S. and competitive destinations. These studies form the basis for the creation and implementation of country marketing plans and related programs of USTS. 3. Through evaluation research, the effectiveness of USTS programs and activities are assessed in terms of impact in the marketplace and degree to which their stated goals and objec- tives were met. The following are publications prepared by this office: 13 Basic Data (1) HIGHLIGHTS - INTERNATIONAL AND DOMESTIC TOURISM 1976 This pamphlet contains statistics and infor- mation on the 1976 Market Overview with Preliminary Estimates, International Travel to the U.S., 1976, International Market Data for 1976 including statistics on arrivals, re- ceipts, departures, expenditures, and other key facts.

(20) THE MARKET FOR INTERNATIONAL CONGRESSES, March 1975 This study was designed to determine the present and prospective size and economic impact of the international congress and convention markets. The analysis also in- cludes an examination of the facilities and services provided and required, as well as the procedures and practices for selecting conventions. An extensive series of analytical interviews was conducted throughout the world in the course of the study. Considerable secondary material was also collected and analyzed. Over 200 interviews were conducted involv- ing a broad range of organizations, adminis- trations, and individual experts in Europe, North America, and the Far East. The congresses included were non-govern- mental events with recognized serious pur- poses, and international in scope by virtue of their attendance, location, or both.
