About US Travel Coalition

About Us

A project of the U.S. Travel Association, the Power of Travel Coalition is the grassroots army defending and strengthening the American travel community.


We are the more than 10 million individuals whose jobs depend on a strong travel industry, from hotel and rental car employees to theme park and cruise line workers, tour operators, meeting planners, and restaurant staff.


A strong travel economy means stronger local economies and more jobs. For that reason, the Power of Travel Coalition works with employees to champion, protect and improve travel and tourism.
