The call comes after the association’s president and chief Roger Dow mapped out a vision for the country’s travel industry at the organisation’s annual State of the Travel Industry address on Wednesday (2 February). 

Dow acknowledged short-term priorities that Congress and the Biden administration should act "immediately upon" to ensure an even recovery for all sectors of travel. 

The five areas highlighted to "drive the association and the broader travel industry in the months and years ahead" were: workforce, facilitation and security, the future of travel mobility, sustainability, diversity and equity and inclusion.
