U.S. Travel Association concluded IPW 2025 in Chicago, wrapping up a powerful conference that drew more than 5,000 delegates from 64 countries and generated momentum for the next three years of international inbound travel to the United States.

The enduring theme of IPW 2025 focused on ways to increase lawful visitation to the United States—and it is set to deliver on that. New data from U.S. Travel and Rockport Analytics projects that IPW 2025 will attract 10.9 million new visitors to the U.S. over the next three years—generating $26.1 billion in spending, supporting 63,000 American jobs annually and producing $3.3 billion in tax revenue.  

Over three days, more than 100,000 business appointments connected the U.S. travel industry with global buyers and media, showcasing the full spectrum of American destinations—from world-renowned landmarks to hidden gems.

Chicago, this year’s host city, took center stage with dynamic events and experiences across the city. Choose Chicago spotlighted the city’s culture, creativity and spirit, reaffirming its place as a premier international destination.

IPW 2026 will be hosted by Visit Lauderdale in Greater Fort Lauderdale, Florida continuing the momentum next spring.
