National Travel & Tourism Week
May 1-7, 2022
The Department of Tourism is preparing to celebrate National Travel & Tourism Week 2022 (NTTW), May 1-7. The 2022 NTTW theme is “Future of Travel”. It is a future where friends, family and colleagues can reconnect. Where hopping on a flight is just as easy, and better, than hopping on Zoom. Where traveling from one place to another is faster, more seamless and safer than ever before. Where inclusivity thrives and diversity drives innovation and connection. And a future where travel is once again the heartbeat of American communities and businesses, welcoming travelers from around the globe.
