U.S. Travel Statement From Roger Dow, TIA President and CEO
September 4, 2005. Americans are grateful for the numerous offers of relief and support from our international friends around the world. Our hearts and prayers are with the victims of this tragic event.
While it's not yet possible to travel to New Orleans and some parts of the Gulf Coast, the majority of the U.S. coast is unaffected and open for business. Whether you want to visit California, Florida, New York, Illinois, Washington, DC or any area in-between, visitors should not hesitate to travel around the U.S.
Travelers can visit www.SeeAmerica.org for travel updates on the affected areas, as well as travel information for all U.S. destinations. The website will be updated on a regular basis to reflect current travel conditions.
