National Travel & Tourism Week
May 3, 2026 – May 10, 2026

What is National Travel & Tourism Week?

National Travel & Tourism Week (NTTW) is the U.S. travel industry’s annual tradition of recognizing the essential role travel plays in powering our economy, strengthening communities and connecting America.

Established by U.S. Travel Association, NTTW brings the industry together each year to spotlight travel’s impact—from supporting 15 million jobs to generating critical tax revenue that funds public services and infrastructure in communities nationwide.

In 2026, the theme “Postmarked: Essential” highlights a simple truth: travel is not optional, it is fundamental to America’s economy, workforce and way of life. Every trip taken, every visitor welcomed and every experience created leaves a mark on communities across the country. Travel drives opportunity, fuels growth and keeps America connected.

As the nation looks ahead to major global moments and milestones (including its 250th anniversary), National Travel & Tourism Week is a moment to recognize the industry that drives travel to and across America—and the communities it supports.
