 | | A 2002 report by the Department of Commerce estimated that a discontinuation of VWP would cost the U.S. economy more than $28 billion in tourism exports from 2003 to 2007, while costing the tourism industry 475,000 jobs over five years. | | | Annual recurring costs were estimated between $522 million and $810 million, an amount that would assume a large part of their operating budget, which for 2002 was $8.3 billion. | | | A 2002 report issued by the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) in 2002 estimated that initial costs to process the additional workload would likely range between $739 million and $1.28 billion. |
