The active partnership of U.S. Internet Video sites with the Corporation for Travel Promotion will be a powerful tool to boost international travel to the U.S.

(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED STATES – 15th March, 2010 - AmericaFree.TV, LLC (www.americafree.tv), a leading Internet streaming television and movie broadcaster, announced today that it applauded the signing of the Travel Promotion Act. “We definitely see a role for Internet broadcasters in US travel promotion” said AmericaFree.TV CEO Marshall Eubanks. “The Internet is inherently global, and as evidence of that roughly 60% of our audience comes from abroad.”

This represents, just from one broadcaster, an overseas audience of roughly 10 million people who are viewing American movies and TV shows on the Internet, and who are thus definitely interested in American Culture. These overseas residents are a natural target audience for the Corporation for Travel Promotion (CTP),” Eubanks continued. “While the CTP will make ad purchases in foreign media, we would like to urge that it does not forget American Internet broadcasters.”

AmericaFree.TV does not block overseas viewers, and has an audience in every country with broadband Internet access. Recent USTA Government relations committee member Mike Smith said “Internet video clearly reaches a global high value audience, including areas with growing travel industries, such as the Middle East and China. Expenditures in the U.S. Internet video industry will both reach potential tourists and keep the ad buys American.”

AmericaFree.TV (AFTV) broadcasts professionally produced content on multiple live channels on the Internet. AmericaFree.TV is a strong proponent of free television, and does not charge for any broadcasts. To learn more about AFTV, visit the AmericaFree.tv site at www.AmericaFree.tv.
