The U.S. Travel Association is the key player representing the 1.2 Trillion travel industry in our nation, operating vital programs and advocating for policies to increase travel to and within the United States.  We’ve developed a nice rapport with their CEO Geoff Freeman, he returned to the organization just over 2 years ago as its leader, and we appreciate his candor and grasp of current happening within various sectors of travel.  As the nation prepares for the return of President Donald Trump in just over 2 months, we decided to check-in with Geoff to discuss ways U.S. Travel is looking to work with the new administration, his optimism for getting key policies and projects across the finish line, etc.  We also discussed some realities with the current administration, got an update on Disaster Relief to those impacted by Hurricane Helene and Milton and looked briefly ahead to 2025.

For nearly 18 years Roger Dow served as the leader of U.S. Travel — and he become a reliable show friend.  In 2022 he shared with us live on-air his decision to retire and that ultimately let to Geoff Freeman replacing him in September 2022.  Having rejoined the U.S. Travel Association now as its CEO, Geoff had previously served in multiple capacities with the organization for over 7 years, including as its Chief Operating Office — before leaving in 2013 to take on CEO roles with the American Gaming Association and most recently the Consumer Brands Association.

Coming off the Memorial Day holiday weekend, with just 18 days until Summer officially arrives, and the Summer travel season already underway for some — during our live broadcast of America’s #1 Travel Radio Show on 3 June 2023, we decided it was a good time to check-in with Geoff and get an update on current happenings in the World of Travel, the just completed IPW Expo in San Antonio, his thoughts on likely regression of travel to some areas of the U.S. as international travel attracts more Americans, the status of the new Assistant Secretary of Travel & Tourism and more.
