The first full week of May is annually recognized as National Travel and Tourism Week. The U.S. Travel Association has created a multi-year campaign— called the Travel Effect—to prove the huge impact that travel and tourism has on lives, businesses and local, state and national economies. Each year, localized events are presented in cities, states and travel businesses nationwide to champion the power of travel.
