The 4 day US Travel Association’s annual conference is held in a different location each year.
This year, they chose the hostess city.
City, state, and federal leaders all meet to discuss different ways to promote tourism to help boost the economy.
They also talk about some of the challenges and concerns. Congressman Buddy Carter says labor is one of those challenges.
Tourism is a very labor intensive industry. It is important as a member of congress that while they are in the district, they meet with those who are the boots on the ground and hear directly from them.
Congressman Carter says there’s also still challenges for international travel.
He says travelers are experiencing long wait times to receive a VISA or passport which prevents the U-S from welcoming new visitors.
There are no upcoming events at this time
