We want to hear from you!

Be a voice for the travel and tourism sector and apply to serve on the U.S. Travel and Tourism Advisory Board or the Brand USA Board of Directors.

Don’t miss your opportunity to serve on the U.S. Travel and Tourism Advisory Board (TTAB) and be a part of the voice that provides advice, information, and recommendations to the Commerce Secretary on issues, policies, and programs that affect the travel and tourism industry. The National Travel and Tourism Office (NTTO) is accepting applications through September 16, 2022 for the 2022-2024 TTAB term.
