Join Brand USA President & CEO Chris Thompson April 23!

When I spoke to NYSTIA in June 2020, we were in the midst of of an unprecedented world pandemic with growing uncertainty and no end in sight. Now, with the arrival of vaccines, we are beginning to see the light at the end of this long tunnel. And when the time is right, all of us in the travel industry look forward to welcoming international visitation and spend back to our great country.

Travel has always had the amazing power to transcend the unprecedented events of our past. I'm confident it will do so even with the generational challenges we face today.

I look forward to joining you on April 23 to share what Brand USA has been working on, both forward facing and behind the scenes, to ensure we keep destinations like those across The Empire State top-of-mind.
