Honor the #SpiritOfTravel During National Travel and Tourism Week, May 3-9

National Travel and Tourism Week (NTTW) is a program from the U.S. Travel Association that honors the spirit of travel in recognition of the industry’s strength and resiliency. With the impact that COVID-19 is having on the travel and tourism industry, this year’s campaign looks to remind the country that even through the most difficult times, the spirit of travel cannot be broken. When the time is right, the travel and tourism industry will be integral to our state’s and nation’s economic and collective recovery.

Here are ways to initiate and strengthen the discussions taking place around the positive effect of travel during NTTW:

Reference U.S. Travel’s talking points and messaging guidance when discussing the “Spirit of Travel.”
Share the #SpiritOfTravel on your social channels using these examples and ideas as inspiration for content.
Participate in U.S. Travel’s Virtual Road Trip on May 5. Follow along using the hashtag #VirtualRoadTrip.
