Raimondo On Her Meeting With The U.S. Travel Association WASHINGTON – Following her meeting with American travel and tourism CEOs convened by the U.S. Travel Association, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina M. Raimondo released the following statement: "COVID-19 has had a disproportionate impact on the travel and tourism industry and has hurt far too many local economies, working people, and businesses. Thanks to the American Rescue Plan, the Biden-Harris Administration is poised to deliver much needed help to these communities through economic relief and increased resources to rein in the COVID-19 pandemic – which has caused this economic crisis. I am committed to bringing a whole of Commerce approach to travel and tourism-related issues, and I look forward to engaging agencies across the Federal government in efforts to accelerate a safe recovery and ensure that we have a stronger platform for long-term growth." ### STAY CONNECTED:         SUBSCRIBER SERVICES:  Preferences   Help Unsubscribe   Contact Us   This email was sent to stevenmagallanes520.nims@blogger.com using GovDelivery Communications Cloud on behalf of: U.S. Department of Commerce · 1401 Constitution Ave., NW · Washington, D.C. 20230
