History
The See America Foundation was established in September 1974 to promote tourism to the United States. In 1990 the organisation expanded with members of the Canadian Travel Industry, resulting in a new name: The Visit USA & Canada Foundation. In 1998 the Foundation was endorsed by TIA/USNTO and Canada decided to go its own way, once more resulting in a new name: The Visit USA Foundation. Later in 2005, after 7 years as the Visit USA Foundation, the name changed once again to the name it currently holds: See America. This Foundation is a non-profit and non-commercial organisation consisting of Dutch and US Travel Industry members. The main objective is to promote tourism from the Netherlands to the U.S. in the widest possible sense.
Today
The organisation is an independent platform which communicates travel information and know-how to its members, the Dutch travel trade and the consumer with the objective of increase visitor traffic to the United States of America. The Foundation is jointly supported by TIA, the United States Department of Commerce, and the various subscribing members. Most of the Dutch members publish US travel destination packages and sell their products through retailers. Through participation at frequent committee meetings, members have the opportunity to play a role in the activities of the Foundation.
Our mission statement
Now 30 years later, the Foundation is a role model of private sector initiative and is more important than ever for the promotion of the United States as the biggest intercontinental destination for travellers from the Netherlands. With the support of TIA and the Commercial Service, See America fills the information gap and concentrates on education of both the Dutch travel industry and the consumer.
