Traveling alone, not lonely.

Wordless Wednesday: Travel Matters!

Happy National Travel & Tourism Week! As I’ve mentioned in a post last month, May 5 – 13, 2012, is the day to celebrate the power of travel.

If there’s anything you should remember about this week is tourism means jobs. In fact, one out of nine jobs in the United States depends on travel and tourism. That’s a lot of people, don’t ya think?

Totally agree with you … tourism is one of the biggest trades in the world – and we should take care of our visitors. We need them in every country.

What’s a work martyr? They’re that person who says they can’t use their paid time off (PTO) because the office will go to hell in a hand basket while they’re away.
