During a November 2009 visit to China, President Obama issued an invitation to those gathered for a Shanghai town hall meeting. “I hope that many of you have the opportunity to come and travel and visit the United States,” he said. “You will be welcome.”

Every year tens of millions of people do visit the United States. Some come to see the big cities or to explore the nation’s vast natural beauty. Others come to get an education, or to clinch a business deal.

The U.S. government and the American people are glad to receive these guests. The Department of State is working hard to speed and simplify the visa process, and citizens of the 36 countries in the Visa Waiver Program need not apply for a visa at all for business or pleasure visits of 90 days or fewer.

Of all the reasons for visiting the United States, the best one is to meet people.  They might lead you up a little-known hiking trail for an exceptional view of Austin, Texas. They might take you to the restaurant serving the best lobster roll in Maine. Or they might give you a memory of some small kindness that you can share at home.
