U.S. Travel Association Commends Congress for Avoiding Government Shutdown, Urges Long-Term Funding Solutions
9/26/2024
WASHINGTON — U.S. Travel Association commends Congress for its bipartisan effort to pass a short-term Continuing Resolution (CR) to keep the federal government open and funded through December 20. This crucial action prevented a government shutdown that would have cost the U.S. travel economy an estimated $140 million per day. U.S. Travel Executive Vice President of Public Affairs and Policy Tori Emerson Barnes released the following statement: "We appreciate Congress’ important steps to avoid a shutdown, but the country simply cannot afford the uncertainty of temporary funding resolutions. As we look beyond the November elections, Congress must prioritize passing full-year appropriations that address what so many traveling Americans deserve: investments in modernizing the air travel system, adequate staffing for Air Traffic Controllers and additional funding for both U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Voters expect — and deserve — a fully functioning government and a system that works.” About U.S. Travel Association U.S. Travel Association is the national, non-profit organization representing the $1.3 trillion travel industry, an essential contributor to our nation's economy and success. U.S. Travel produces programs and insights and advocates for policies to increase travel to and within the United States. Visit ustravel.org for more information.
