NTTW-2016-logoNational Travel and Tourism Week is coming soon (May 1-7, 2016). The U.S. Travel Association put out a toolkit to help states and local communities plan events and market tourism in the United States.

1 in 9 jobs in the United States are thanks to tourism. Over 120 thousand jobs in Maryland are thanks to tourism. It’s a big deal!
