An important message from the U.S. Travel Association

U.S. Travel urgently needs your help to ensure that the Obama Administration is focused on preserving a robust travel economy in the Gulf region in the wake of the disastrous Deepwater Horizon oil spill. It is not too late to prevent some of the most damaging long-term effects of the oil spill, and particularly, large scale job losses. As you know, travel can and should be the engine that drives long-term recovery in the Gulf.

We are asking for the entire travel industry to come together and lend a hand to get thousands of travel employees in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida to sign on to a letter to President Barack Obama urging him to put in place a short- and long-term recovery plan focused on maintaining a strong travel economy in the Gulf region and attracting business and leisure travelers back to the region. If you have properties or networks in the area, you can help by passing along this urgent call to action. By doing so, you will undoubtedly enhance the message and increase its effectiveness.

If you have any questions please contact Candice Knezevic at cknezevic@ustravel.org. To view the letter and add your name, click here. To forward the letter to your networks, click here.

It is critical that President Obama hear this message loud and clear. Thank you for your support.
