Legislation to revitalize tourism between the United States and Mexico after the COVID-19 pandemic has been introduced in Congress by a duo of bipartisan lawmakers.

The United States-Mexico Tourism Improvement Act, sponsored by Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) and Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) would increase the cooperation between the United States and Mexico to bring back tourism to pre-pandemic levels between the two countries.
