U.S. Travel Association President and CEO Roger Dow issued a statement on the announced bipartisan agreement on a COVID relief package.
Dow’s statement is as follows.
“Washington is delivering a huge holiday gift to U.S. businesses and workers after an incredibly challenging year.
“It’s been a difficult road to get another round of much-needed legislative relief moving in Washington. We applaud the bipartisan group of senators that drove progress forward, and the congressional leadership for striking a bipartisan agreement to produce this desperately needed assistance. The agreed-upon provisions will give many suffering businesses a bridge to 2021.
“More will be needed to restore the 4.5 million travel jobs lost in the travel and tourism industry, but the process that produced this agreement is hopefully a positive sign for what will be possible to achieve in the next Congress. We urge swift action on this important legislation.”
