NEW travel employment research report – 

Fast Forward: Travel Creates Opportunities and Launches Careers

 

 

Travel provides answers to our country’s increasingly complex economic challenges. The travel industry not only sustains small businesses and communities, but also serves as a leading export and creates American jobs that cannot be outsourced. In turn, these travel-related jobs give American workers a first foothold on the job ladder and provide valuable skills and education that lead to rewarding careers. If further supported by responsible policies, travel can contribute to a strong, upwardly mobile job market and expand opportunities for American workers to succeed.

Use the resources within this toolkit to spread the word about the important role of travel in your community.
