a very warm welcome if you are watching in the u.k. or pbs in the united states or indeed around the world. the u.s. is lifting the requirement for international trelers to have a covid test within 24 hours of flights, from this sunday. the need for testing will be reevaluated every three months and could be reinstated if a new variant emerges. the move and's one of the last restrictions related to the pandemic in the u.s., where more than one million people have died from covid. michelle fleury give us more details. michelle: there has been so much pent-up demand, people set at home for the last two years due to waves of lockdowns from the pandemic. if you listen to the airline

industry, this a certain in demand for their product and they haven't been able to keep up because of a pilot shortage. they will be saying this is great news. in fact, the ceo of american airlines last week was quoted as saying that this kind of restriction was nonsensical, and that the industry was frustrated. a letter relief and cheers from them, becausehere is this aptite to get oa plane despite concerns. you can always still wear a mask. but the restriction of having to get tested a day before returning to the united states put off many americans, because they were scared of getting caught and trapped overseas if they tested positive. >> and this applies to all countries worldwide? >> yes, anyone now who wants to get on a plane to america no longer has to test negative a day before they board their flight. i was talking about what it means for americans as they are about to embark on summer

holidays. but the flipside is foreign travelerwho want to come to the u.s. now no longer have to jump through those hoops. th u.s. travel association thinks that will mean 5.4 million extra visitors to the u.s. this year. they think that adds up to $9 billion in extra travel spending through the year. a lot on the line for this industry which, as we've seen around the world, the travel industry was hard-hit at the start of the pandemic when putting much most flights were grounded. now, they see the light, if you like, on the rise and opportunity for healthy business, for the months ahead. >> let's cross to the u.s. now for the travel industry response. joining us is tori emerson barnes at the u.s. travel association. this must be a good day for you? >> a wonderful day and huge victory for the travel industry here in the united states.

we are thrilled to welcome visitors, regardless if they got a negative covid test. >> will it make much difference to the numbers of people traveling to the u.s.? because this has been part of our lives for so long, testing, mass wearing on flights, that it hasn't been putting people off. what does the data say? >> according to a recent morning consult survey, over half of international travelers found the testing requirement a deterrent from coming to the u.s.. there were countries globally that lifted all covid restrictions and we have been at a competitive disadvantage. as the woman before noted, we expect the lifting of the tests to see 5.4 million additional tests this year. that is $9 billion in additional visitor spending. that is absolutely critical as we seek to rebound from an

industry standpoint and from an overall economic standpoint. >> some people will now feel happier about traveling without all the administration that goes around testing and so on, but is there not a risk that some people who do not feel comfortable still with the fact the virus is still out there, still present, they don't feel comfortable boarding a plane knowing that not everyone on that plane has definitely tested negative. -- negate? could it put some people off traveling? >> folks have the ability to wear a mask if they would like to end are more comfortablwith that. but there is a ton of data that shows the air filtration systems in airplanes are much safer than going to a grocery store, going to a lot of other place we think it will enable international visitors that want to come to the u.s. to do so. we also think, importantly, it

ll enable global meetings and business travel to resume more seamlessly. and folks that want to have big meetings and conventions in the united states, that have a global footprint, will be willing to do so. we had to of this week, our big international trade show in orlando. and it was wonderful to welcome folks from around the globe. but there waa lot of concern and chapter about how much a deterrent this is long-term we are thrilled about the administration and in particular secretary ray mondello of the commerce department, who has been instrumental -- secretary gi raimondo of the commerce department, who has been instrumental in lifting this testing requirement. >> tori emerson barnes from the u.s. travel association, thank you. >> thank you. >> the congressional inquiry into last year's riot at the cap
