Board Advises the Secretary on Matters that Relate to the Travel and Tourism Industry in the United States
Today, Secretary of
Commerce Gina Raimondo announced the appointments of 32 leaders from businesses
and organizations in the domestic travel and tourism industry to the U.S. Travel and Tourism Advisory
Board (TTAB). TTAB members advise the Secretary of Commerce on
how government policies and programs affect the travel and tourism industry and
offer counsel on current and emerging issues to support sustainable growth of
the travel and tourism industry as our nation’s economic engine.
"Travel and
tourism returned with force in 2022 as we opened up our country once again to
visitors from around the globe,” said Secretary Raimondo. “Since day one of the
Biden Administration, the Commerce Department has taken decisive actions to
support this industry’s recovery. The U.S. Travel and Tourism Advisory Board
plays a vital role in providing expert recommendations and industry insight to
optimize the American travel experience. I look forward to working with new and
returning members.”
TTAB was first
chartered in 2003 and has been re-chartered nine times. Past boards have
provided advice on a wide range of policies and issues, including travel
facilitation, visa policy, infrastructure, aviation security, tourism research,
climate and economic sustainability.
