“We’re thrilled to continue this highly successful partnership, which has been beneficial for both organizations,” said U.S. Travel Association President and CEO Geoff Freeman. “American Express is a leader in the travel space whose expertise and contributions to our executive board and association have proven invaluable to U.S. Travel and the broader industry.
“Our relationship with American Express supports U.S. Travel’s work to advance our mission: to increase travel to and within the United States,” Freeman added.
“Travel is central to our Card Members’ lives, and they trust and rely on our expertise and payment products to travel and do business around the world,” said Erin Frankcombe, Vice President & General Manager, Global Client Group. “American Express’s ongoing partnership and engagement with U.S. Travel is an extension of our steadfast commitment to creating the best possible travel experience for our customers.”
