A new bill that will increase tourism in the United Stated, is awaiting President Obama's signature. If the US Travel Promotion Act passes, the first ever non-profit corporation for promoting tourism and attracting visitors to the US will be formed. A said 40,000 jobs could be created from this act that requires overseas visitors to pay $10 that will then be matched by a private sector.

This act will change tourism as we know it and fuel our country with even more visitors. People in the tourism industry should gear up now so that they're ready if the bill is signed. To prepare you for this billion dollar decision, I've lined up the five best tourism products.

A promotional tote bag is a must have item for tourists. Between snacks for the kids, towels for the beach and even a nice treat for yourself, a bag is needed to help organizing your belongings. I especially suggest the custom imprinted tourist tote bag. The large tote allows a ton of room for anything from a video camera and clothing to a bagged lunch and some sun glasses. The top zippers to secure belongings and there's even an added Velcro flap for style and function. The imprint area is super large, making them the perfect tourism promotions for travel agents and gift shops everywhere.

Equally as useful and desirable by tourist is the ever popular, promotional tee shirt. Tourist gift shops stock their shelves full of promotional tee shirts in many different colors and designs. Fleeces, jackets, pants and everything in between is desirable but a tee-shirt is the most popular promotional apparel available. I really enjoy these custom imprinted organic cotton tees. Tourists are becoming more and more eco-conscious so its important to be prepared for a rise in demand for eco-friendly items. From the Empire States building to Sears Tower, cool imprinted tees are visible. They’re perfect for lounging in at the beach, working out at the gym or rocking a casual look for jeans.

While sporting their tourist indicator tee shirts on the last day of their trips, you're going to want to make sure all of their belongings are safe. Incorporating promotional luggage tags into your tourist promotion or in your gift shop will show clients that you care. They're a very inexpensive way to get miles of exposure. Tourist will be reminded of your hot spot location every time they take out their luggage. Now even while enjoying the fun of a theme park, they'll glance at your custom imprinted neon write on luggage tag and instantly want to plan a trip back to your National Park destination.

One item that's been making a splash on cruise ships and at all inclusive resorts is promotional stemware. Classy glasses and cool cups imprinted with your hotel's name will make the drinking experience even more enjoyable. In many cases, these glasses can also be purchased for your personal use. Like promotional koozies, they'll make your beverage of choice flow out like a fountain. Now recipients will bring them home and revisit their tropical getaways while indulging in margaritas in the comfort of their own homes.

My final pick for tourism products is the awesome promotional tourist squeezie stress reliever. Planning a vacation can be stressful so having these stocked in your travel agency is a plus. Likewise, when the reality sets in that a vacationing is nearing its end, tourists will stress about what lies ahead at home and with work. Give out these adorable and funny stress balls and you'll help them to make a casual adjustment.

Enjoy these five fantastic promotional products for tourism and incorporate them into your next tourism promotion and I guarantee you success. Indulging in the lifestyle of a tourist is always fun and catering to their promotional needs will ensure that they visit your hot tourist spot again and again.
