WASHINGTON -- The Commerce Department said 27 tour itineraries have
been added to its American Pathways 2000 initiative, launched last
year by First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton as part of an effort to
celebrate the new millennium.
The program highlights various aspects of American culture. The
program, supported by tour operators and endorsed by major travel
trade associations, now encompasses 101 cultural heritage tours and
will be extended for several more years.
