The Travel Act prohibits travel or the use of facilities of interstate or foreign commerce for the purpose of furthering an "unlawful activity" as defined under the Act. At this time, the Act is used to fight "business enterprises" involved in narcotics or controlled substances and reflects a perceived shift in the concentration of such enterprises from involvement in traditional organized crime activities to involvement in drug trafficking activities. To establish a Travel Act violation, the prosecution must prove the "interstate element," the "intent element," and the "performance element." The United States will have a new weapon against international drug syndicates if the Travel Act finds application in an international arena. 267 footnotes
