The U.S.-Korea Visa Waiver Program Coalition (USKVWPC) is a membership based coalition comprised of companies, businesses, organizations and community groups dedicated to the promotion and participation of the Republic of Korea's entry into the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). Members of USKVWPC work to educate U.S. policymakers in the Administration and Congress concerning the many tangible and varied benefits of Korea's designation as a program country in the VWP. As such an initiative would have a major impact on the U.S. economy, it makes good policy sense.
