The U.S. Travel Tracker

The need for timely views on recent performance as well at the outlook for travel is pronounced during these volatile economic times. The U.S. Travel Tracker is a monthly service provided by the U.S. Travel Association and Tourism Economics that brings together a host of monthly indicators and analysis to provide nearly real-time perspectives on the performance of the U.S. travel sector and overall economy.

Subscribers to the service receive online access to data, charts, and analysis which provide a broad view of recent trends and leading indicators of what the coming months hold for the U.S. travel sector. Every month, the U.S. Travel Tracker will provide a one-stop source for the latest information on the economy, travel trends, hotel performance, air transport, and traveler intentions.

In addition, a web conference will be held for U.S. Travel Tracker subscribers every other month. Each conference will feature three 20 minute presentations covering the latest developments in U.S. travel and how the outlook is evolving.

A one-year subscription to the U.S. Travel Tracker costs $5,000 for U.S. Travel Association members and $7,500 for non-members.

All data and analysis are delivered via password protected access to: www.ustraveltracker.com.
