Obama to unveil travel, tourism industry jobs plan at Disney World

President Obama plans to unveil a new strategy for boosting tourism and travel in the United States during a visit to Disney World in Orlando, Fla., on Thursday.

The White House announced Obama’s trip on Tuesday. The new strategy is part of Obama’s “We Can’t Wait” job-creation initiative.

The strategy comes just a few weeks after Obama also announced a new summer-jobs initiative meant to create 180,000 private-sector “work opportunities” in 2012.

Both “We Can’t Wait” initiatives are part of Obama’s push to create jobs through executive action.

The president launched the initiative after Congress failed to approve a $1.5 billion summer-jobs fund he had been seeking as part of his American Jobs Act proposal.
