Travel group hopes LA Olympics can be boost to modernize customs process

Published



The U.S. Travel Association is advocating the modernization of the customs process to streamline travel at security checkpoints ahead of multiple high-profile events the country is set to host next year. 

The group’s CEO, Geoff Freeman, called the plans “bold, but…achievable,” noting they will need the help of President Donald Trump and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to support the plans in order to get members of Congress on board with funding.
