WASHINGTON: As President Obama and his wife wing their way to New Delhi this weekend with a touristy excursion to Agra appended at the tail end of the trip, they will be visiting a country that will most likely send a million Indian tourists to the United States in 2015. And Uncle Sam wants more.
奥巴马总统夫妇本周末飞往新德里，且访问结束后会附带去阿格拉旅行。他们访问的是一个2015年可能送100万印度游客去美国的国家，而山姆大叔要更多。
Apparently, the days of Indian travelers jum through hoops and pining in vain for a US tourist visa are over. These days, if you have the moolah and the assets to show you won't disappear into the vast open spaces in America, a visa is yours for the asking, particularly if you can set the US cash registers ringing.
显然，印度旅客为了拿到美国游客签证而百依百顺但又徒劳无果的日子已经结束。目前，如果你有金钱和资产来证明你不会消失在美国辽阔的空间，拿到签证就是轻而易举之事，特别是如果你能让美国收银机工作起来。
So what has changed? "We were the last developed country in the world not to have a dedicated effort to promote travel and tourism and President Obama decided to change that when he realized that the United States suffered a lost decade after 9/11," explained Chris Thompson, President and CEO at Brand USA, which was created by the federal government to gee up travel to the land of Disneyland and Hollywood that has never had to work hard for the tourist dollar. Not any more.
有什么已经改变了吗？“我们是世界上最后一个并未努力促进旅游业的发达国家，奥巴马总统认识到美国自从9/11恐怖袭击以来遭受重大损失，决定改变这种情况。”
以下是《印度时报》读者的评论：
