Survey: US is most unfriendly country to visitors

A global survey being released today shows the United States as the world's most unfriendly country for international travelers because of rude immigration officers and long delays in processing visas.

The survey, of 2,011 international travelers in 16 countries, was conducted by the polling firm RT Strategies for the Discover America Partnership, a business-backed group launched in September to promote travel to the United States and improve the country's image abroad.

More than half said U.S. immigration officials were rude.

Two-thirds were fearful that they would be detailed on arrival because of a paperwork mistake or saying the wrong thing to an immigration official.
