Attend the 4th Annual Travel Leadership Summit September 16-17, 2009
Stand Up for Travel
There is more reason than ever to attend the U.S. Travel Association's Travel Leadership Summit on September 16-17 in Washington, DC. The travel business is in a crisis. The recession is taking its toll, but the problem is compounded by the aftermath of the Swine Flu outbreak and the attacks on the meetings and events business earlier this year. The industry has lost billions of dollars in cancellations, and communities across the United States have lost jobs. The U.S. Travel Association is fighting back by focusing on the economic impact of travel.
The Travel Promotion Act (S. 1023 / H.R. 2935) is once again on the move. It is advancing through both the House and Senate, and has the support of President Obama and Cabinet officials.
We're on a roll, but we need your help.
Register now and unite with hundreds of travel colleagues in Washington who will call upon Congress to enact the Travel Promotion Act and underscore the importance of the travel business to our economy.
TLS delegates will meet face-to-face with Members of Congress, receive legislative briefings and hear from policymakers and guest speakers.
Summit events will be held on September 17 at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill. Optional caucus and delegation events are traditionally held the evening prior.
