The Travel Community Supports President Barack’s Pick for Secretary of Commerce
The U.S. Travel Association (formerly the Travel Industry Association) today praised President Obama for his choice of Senator Judd Gregg as his nominee for Secretary of Commerce. Roger Dow, president and CEO of the U.S. Travel Association, issued the following statement:
"America’s travel community applauds President Obama for choosing Senator Gregg to lead a cabinet department that will play such a critical role in revitalizing the U.S. economy. We look forward to working with Senator Gregg in support of a nationally coordinated travel promotion program to boost the U.S. economy and strengthen America’s image abroad by welcoming more overseas travelers to the United States.
"America’s $1.7 trillion travel economy employs one out of every eight U.S. workers in domestic jobs that cannot be outsourced. From his previous experience as Governor of the State of New Hampshire, Senator Gregg understands that travel is an economic engine that creates jobs and generates tax revenues in every state and region of the United States."
