Let me give you an example. The United States operates U.S. Customs and Immigration preclearance facilities at the Nassau and Freeport airports in the Bahamas. These facilities allow passengers who are about to enter the United States to clear U.S. Customs and Immigration before they ever leave the Bahamas. Now these preclearance facilities are of little value to the United States.

However. because of the convenience they offer passengers and the improvements in airline scheduling. the preclearance facilities are of significant assistance to the Bahamian tourist industry. Now.
