Travel is a proven engine that drives our nation’s economy forward, creating good jobs for millions of Americans and contributing positively to our balance of trade. However, without an agreement in Washington that turns us back from the precipice of the so-called “fiscal cliff,” that powerful economic engine will soon sputter and stall. We commend the President and Congressional leaders who are showing a refreshing willingness to put aside partisan differences for the good of our country. We urge them to finish the work of averting this looming crisis without delay.
