Champion the Benefits of Travel on Rally Day

Travel Rally Day is a concerted effort to demonstrate travel’s positive impact on local workers, businesses and economies—and, of course, on the personal lives of travelers. Individual events are staged in cities nationwide during National Travel and Tourism Week.

The goal of Rally Day is to unite the local travel community with supporters and to publicly represent the importance of travel to media and elected officials.

Next year’s Travel Rally Day is Tuesday, May 3, 2016.

Wear Red

Wearing red during National Travel and Tourism Week has been a signature style statement for more than two decades. It signals unity among travel and tourism professionals and their supporters. Wear red all week long and use the bold color to decorate at rallies, industry luncheons and events. Any day within NTTW is appropriate to “go red,” but it’s especially encouraged on Tuesday, May 5 for Rally Day.

When the travel community wears red and appears united in front of their communities, local lawmakers and the media, it sends a powerful message in a positive way. A mock-up of a special NTTW T-shirt design is available on the  Logos & Graphics page of our online toolkit for inspiration.
