updates: The GBTA U.S. Legislative Summit 2024 brought together over 100 participants from the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) to meet with U.S. Senators, Representatives, and their staff in Washington D.C. The participants shared data-informed insights and advocated for policies that support a sustainable future for business travel. GBTA presented the 'GBTA Navigator Award' to Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) and Representative Sam Graves (R-MO) for championing business travel in the U.S. The participants discussed key takeaways from GBTA's 'GBTA U.S. Economic Impact Study: Business Travel's Impact on Jobs and the U.S. Economy,' which highlights that U.S. business travel contributes $484.4 billion annually to the GDP. GBTA constituents asked legislators to support the Farm to Fly Act and pass the Visa Processing Improvement Act. Senator Rosen was recognized for her efforts in bringing back travel and business travel, including the bipartisan Omnibus Travel and Tourism Act and securing funding for the Brightline West high-speed rail system. Representative Graves led the re-authorization of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) bill, supporting upgrades to critical FAA systems and improving the air travel experience. The GBTA U.S. Legislative Summit was sponsored by United Airlines, BWH Hotels, Enterprise Mobility, and Cornerstone Information Systems. [e323bef5]
