U.S. Business Travel Thriving As Travel Expands for 100th Straight Month

June 8, 2018

Travel to and within the U.S. grew 3.6 percent year-over-year in April, according to the U.S. Travel Association’s latest Travel Trends Index (TTI) – marking the industry’s 100th straight month of overall expansion. Though the raw numbers are in positive territory, the U.S. continues to trail other global travel heavyweights in capturing share of the booming international travel market.

The most noteworthy component of the April TTI was domestic business travel, which grew for a fourth consecutive month—the first four-month win streak for that segment since January-April 2015. Forward-looking bookings and searches for business travel appear to be on an upswing as well, leading to a strong business Leading Travel Index (LTI)—the forecasting portion of TTI.

How Does Your Advertising Budget Measure Up?

February 26, 2018

If you are a local convention and visitors bureau, do you ever worry about having a modest advertising budget in comparison to competing CVBs? According to a study from Kantar Media of over 2,300 CVBs:

  • Approximately 51% of CVBs exhibit measured media spend of less than $10,000 per year.
  • 51% is likely to be a low figure since Kantar lists only CVBs with measured media spend. There are many more CVBs that are not included in this report.
  • Only 3% had annual measured media spend of $1 million or more.
