  1. Data on I-94 program for US travel is readily available at anyoneโ€™s fingertips.
  2. Travelersโ€™ arrival/departure information is collected automatically from electronic travel records by US Customs and Border Protection.
  3. Are there instances when an I-94 form is needed?

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) now gathers travelersโ€™ arrival/departure information automatically from their electronic travel records. In addition, the National Travel and Tourism Office (NTO) of the International Trade Administration (ITA) collects, analyzes, and disseminates overseas visitor arrivals statistics (I-94 Program) for the US Travel and Tourism Statistical System.

Today, ITA National Travel and Tourism Office announced 2 new data visualization tools called the I-94 Visitor Arrivals Monitors, one based on country of residence (COR) and one based on country of citizenship (COC).

NTTO now displays data summaries and graphic visualizations on total overseas visits to the United States as well as visits by major world regions.
