The forecasts are turning out to be right on target.
This is indeed shaping up as the biggest year ever for
foreign tourism in the U.S. On the basis of head counts so
far, the U.S. Travel Service is looking for a year-end total
of at least 20 millioh visitors from abroad, up some 8 per-
cent over 1977. * . •
Europeans have been arriving at a rate almost 30 per-
cent above last year’s and the yen-ladeh Japanese, main-
taining their ranking of the last several years as the
largest overseas contingent, are more numerous this year
by some 20 permit. Their year-end total should top one
million. '*
The greatest numbers of visitors, however, continue to
come from immediate neighbors — Canada and Mexico.
Hie Canadian flow is slightly under expectations, possibly

* The tide of foreign travellers to the United States has
been rising for some time, doubling in the past decade

A number of factors are involved - increasing
prosperity throughout most of the notwommunist worid,
price slashing in air fares, proliferation of special tourist r
packages and charter flights and, most recently, the
depreciation of the dollar. • ‘
The U S., once affordable only to the jet set and
business elite, has become a bargain vacation destination,
for citizens of suprhard-currency countries in particular.
As a consequence, there! has been a distinct change in

For years, the Consumer
Product Safety Commission has
been tinkering with a proposed
safety standard that would make
lawn mowers safer to operate
Now that the agency is about to
approve the new standard, the
industry has launched a last-
ditch lobbying effort to knock it
