Will international physicians still travel to the U.S. for medical meetings?
Is the entry process getting harder?
Are new visa fees going to affect registration numbers?

These are the questions we are hearing from associations and sponsors right now. The U.S. Travel Association just published a fact sheet that answers them with data.

68 million international travelers visited the U.S. in 2025. The federal government is adding 5,000 new customs officers and investing over $500 million in faster biometric entry systems. A proposed $250 visa fee could discourage nearly 1 million visitors and cost $9 billion in spending, and U.S. Travel is actively working to halt it.

ABTS monitors these developments because they affect every international housing block, every sponsored group, and every travel itinerary we manage. For nearly 30 years, that has been the job.

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our founder, Davide Veglia.

Davide built ABTS Convention Services 31 years ago on the belief that international physicians attending U.S. medical meetings deserved a partner who truly understood them. That belief shaped a company, a global team, and partnerships across the medical meetings industry that will carry forward his legacy.

Those who worked with Davide knew his energy, his loyalty, and his pride in every relationship he built. He made people feel like they mattered, because to him, they did.

Our hearts are with his family.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to https://abtscs.com/davide-veglia/
