(Lebanon, NH – December 1, 2025) – As record numbers of travelers seek smoother airport experiences and safer skies, memberships in Trusted Traveler Programs such as TSA PreCheck and Global Entry have also reached new highs with more than half (52%) of survey respondents reporting they are already members, according to the latest Global Rescue Traveler Sentiment and Safety Survey.

US travelers are driving much of that growth: 64% say they are enrolled, compared to just 20% of non-US respondents. Women were slightly more likely than men to be members (57% vs. 52%), underscoring the appeal of travel predictability and comfort. Among those enrolled, saving time at the airport (45%) was the leading motivator, followed by reducing hassle and restrictions (20%) and enjoying less stress and greater convenience (30%).

“Frequent travelers recognize that speed and predictability at the airport make a tremendous difference in the overall journey,” said Dan Richards, CEO of The Global Rescue Companies and member of the US Travel and Tourism Advisory Board at the US Department of Commerce. “Programs like Global Entry and TSA PreCheck have become essential tools for managing the travel experience.”

Yet not all travelers are prepared to join. Roughly one in five (21%) respondents said they do not plan to enroll, citing limited usefulness (35%), application complexity (17%) and membership fees (14%). Privacy and biometric data concerns also persist, particularly among women (11%) and non-US respondents (9%). “While convenience is universal, privacy and cost remain barriers for some,” Richards said.
