DOW TO LEAVE U.S. TRAVEL AFTER 17 YEARS: Roger Dow, the longtime president and chief executive of the
U.S. Travel Association, a top industry lobbying group, will step down next year, the association announced this morning. Dow, who joined the association in 2005, has extended his contract through next July while the group’s board of directors kicks off a search for his replacement. Dow has been a vocal advocate for the industry as the coronavirus pandemic decimated global travel, which has yet to fully rebound. The pandemic blunted 10 straight years of growth for U.S. Travel under Dow’s leadership.
