The long awaited Travel Promotion Act may face a final Senate vote this week.
Why It Matters: it will attract more visitors to our nation, create new jobs, and increase revenue for lodging businesses and local governments, all at no cost to American taxpayers. This is a bill that can help this nation’s economy during a time when job creation is a top action item for Congress.
How YOU Can Help: reach out to your Senators this week and tell them how import the Travel Promotion Act is to the meetings industry industry-and your state.
Thank them for their earlier support of the bill (the Senate passed an earlier version 79-19 in September) and urge them to again help one of the nation’s largest industry sectors during this tough economic period.
How to Contact Your Senators:
• Call the U.S. Capitol operator at 202-224-3121 and ask for your Senator’s offices, or view this list of Senators and their states.
• Explain you are resident of the Senator’s home state.
• State you are calling to register your strong support for the Travel Promotion Act (S. 1023/H.R. 1299) and urge your Senators to vote “YES” for the bill to support their state’s lodging and travel industries.
If the Senate vote is successful, the bill will then head to President Obama’s desk for his signature into law.
