Two days after the U.S. Travel Association and industry leaders from key organizations issued guidelines for recipients of TARP (Trouble Assets Relief Program) funding, members of the meetings, events and incentive travel industry launched a grassroots effort to draw attention to the important role meetings, events and incentive travel play in building successful businesses and supporting the economy.
The campaign asks supporters to go to its website and sign an online petition. The petition signatures will be delivered to the U.S. Travel Association and industry leaders to present to Congress.
The petition can be found at www.keepamericameeting.org.
