Posted 22 September 2017:

20 September media release from the Fed cites various reasons for this decision:

Labor market continues to strengthen.
Economic activity is up.
Household spending and business investment are growing.
Inflation is low and declining.
Hurricane-related hardship

But the Fed is now going to start unloading the $4.5 trillion it invested in Treasury and mortgage-backed securities as an economic stimulus beginning in 2008.

American economy looks to be in good shape, and that's good for tourism here and abroad.

Tourism destinations and businesses worldwide MUST take advantage of this in 2017-2018.
