Celebrate the #SpiritofTravel with National Travel and Tourism Week 2020

While we remain in place for the moment, the CIIC team is always celebrating our favorite travels and dreaming of our next trips. The annual National Travel and Tourism Week (NTTW) honors the importance of U.S. travel and its value to our collective wellbeing. 

This year from May 3 to 9, NTTW is honoring the theme #SpiritofTravel, a spirit that connects us, brings joy and drives personal and economic benefits. According to the U.S. Travel Association, the travel industry supports 15.8 million jobs in the U.S., with the industry itself generating $2.6 trillion in economic input in 2019.  Eighty-three percent of travel and tourism-dependent companies are small businesses, including us. And of course, traveling imbues endless happiness, cultural awareness, wellness, memories and other perks to travelers. 

While travel is paused, the #SpiritofTravel cannot be broken, even if your next travels are just to a local landmark or nearby neighborhood you’ve never visited. Join us in celebrating and share your travel memories with #nttw20.
