JUNE 10, 2009 - The U.S. Senate is expected to bring the Travel Promotion Act to the floor for debate and a vote beginning as early as Wednesday, June 10. This is an enormous opportunity for our industry and a test of our resolve to stand up for travel and play a greater role in Washington.

Please use the attached tools to contact both of your Senators today and tomorrow and urge them to cosponsor and VOTE YES on S. 1023, the Travel Promotion Act.

The Travel Promotion Act will for the first time create a public-private partnership to promote travel to the United States, and help us compete with other countries by sending more welcoming messages to our friends around the world. And it will be done at no cost to American taxpayers.

Senate passage has the potential to fast-track the bill to enactment. President Obama, a co-sponsor of the bill last year, has shown support for the bill and will likely sign it if it reaches his desk.
