According to the White House, the President and his family are on a trip to Panama City and the main aim of the trip is to bring back the confidence of public for the Gulf beaches and resorts.

The resorts have seen so much cancellation due to the oil spill even at the peak time of school holidays.

After that, the President has said that the beaches are now totally clean and open for business. He has also added that the coastal states had lost around 23 billion dollars as the industry was hit by the huge oil spill of Gulf of Mexico.
