[Travelandtourism] Travel Promotion Act Signed into Law

[cheryl echevarria]

Well today they also announced that passports are going up as of March 12th 
New Passports will go from $100 to $135 per person.  So we are paying to go 
to other countries why not the same.

Only we are promoting Tourism to the United States.
