May is California Tourism Month - May 2020
Although we can’t meet in person, we can stay connected, unified and supportive of each other from afar, rally around the spirit of travel and #CATourism. When times are uncertain, the only certainty is that the spirit of travel will not be shattered. The spirit of travel is what brings joy and memorable experiences to millions, year over year. Communities benefit from the spirit of travel, which permeates through small businesses, unique landmarks and all those welcome residents and visitors alike with a smile and hospitality. When residents embrace the spirit of travel by supporting local businesses and helping their neighbors, they are also playing a key role in rebuilding their community and California.
When the time is right, the travel and tourism industry will be an integral to our nation’s recovery for the economy and American’s jobs. But it is the spirit of travel that will heal our country’s morale. This is why YOU, Congress and our elected leaders must do all they can to protect the Spirit of Travel.
The Road Ahead:
We will be a key driver for the economy and jobs but also for our country’s morale. It is why Congress and policymakers across the government must do all they can to support this leading industry. We are working day and night to get our industry the relief it needs. The recently passed CARES Act includes major provisions that U.S. Travel fought for and will help deliver economic support to travel businesses, travel workers and their families. We are here to help you navigate eligibility, financial assistance and the application process.
