My Travel Guide to Illinois

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Tourism & Travel Economy: Illinois tourism keeps stacking up big numbers, with reports highlighting record visitor spending and major milestones for the state’s travel industry. Aviation & Airport Experience (9/11 anniversary): Chicago-area coverage marks 25 years since Sept. 11 with stories on how airport security changed—plus reminders of what TSA screening looks like today at O’Hare and Midway. Local Commemoration: Aurora and other Illinois communities held unity-focused 9/11 observances, including Union Station volunteer events and ceremonies honoring first responders. Travel Convenience: TSA PreCheck is getting more complicated in 2026, with tiered options and provider choices affecting renewal cost and “touchless” benefits. Illinois Sports Travel: A 2026 Chicago Marathon transportation guide is out, mapping how to get around race day. Community & Events: Knox College welcomed 285 new students, including international arrivals routed through O’Hare—an on-the-ground look at campus travel logistics.
