While some Media sometimes portray the United States negatively and numerous rumours circulate on social media, testimonials from French travelers returning from the USA often tell a very different story.

Every year, thousands of French travelers explore the country and return home with very positive memories. Many say they were pleasantly surprised by the welcome they received at immigration, the kindness of the American people, the atmosphere and the sense of safety they experienced throughout their trip, an experience that, more broadly, was very different from some common misconceptions.

At the Visit USA Committee France, we work every day alongside our members and tourism professionals to showcase the destination as it is truly experienced. Interviews with travelers and industry professionals, B2B and B2C trade shows, events, newsletters, contests and special campaigns… All these initiatives, carried out with our partners, help shine a positive light on the USA.

Tourism professionals and travel agents also have an essential role to play. Through this press release in French, we invite them to share their clients’ real-life experiences, the pleasant surprises they encountered and their own recommendations. These testimonials are invaluable in helping to challenge misconceptions and remind people that, beyond what they may read or hear, the United States is best discovered first-hand, through encounters with warm, welcoming and kind-hearted Americans!
