ABOUT US

The Travel Management Coalition represents leaders in the travel industry still recovering or greatly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The coalition formed in 2020 at the start of the pandemic when the U.S. government implemented travel bans to certain countries and implemented broad testing requirements.

Collectively, we’ve had to make some very difficult decisions in recent years as travel plummeted at the start of the pandemic. Today, while the travel industry sees steady gains in domestic leisure travel, business travel has not rebounded at a similar rate and international travel lags far behind. The lifting of the testing requirements certainly helps, but additional burdens remain even as the government considers news rules that could negatively impact travel management companies.

We believe the U.S. government can help reinvigorate the industry by reducing barriers to travel and taking tangible steps to improve traveling experiences. The travel industry needs Congress, the Administration, and Washington stakeholders to push forward an agenda that will rejuvenate travel through an emphasis on fluidity and ease.
