Travel Industry Supports Jobs in U.S.

Release Date: Sep 05, 2012

Coinciding with the Labor Day holiday, the U.S. Travel Association just released a report documenting the impact of travel on employment in the U.S. Travel benefits communities nationwide, providing opportunity to the unemployed and increasing global competitiveness, as highlighted in the Travel Means Jobs report. If supported by policies that allow the industry to thrive, travel can drive our nation's recovery and put Americans back to work, according to the report.

The new Travel Means Jobs Toolkit includes a sample op-ed, sample letter to elected officials, and charts and graphics to help tell the story in your area.
