A bid to boost the number of international tourists in the United States could mean that many of those same visitors will soon pay extra to finance travel promotion campaigns abroad.

Under terms of a bill the Senate was to begin debating Tuesday, millions of international visitors would pay a $10 fee to help pay for the work of a new nonprofit corporation.
