Surging Leisure Travel To Offset Softening Business Travel

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Travel Association has released its inaugural Travel Trends Index (TTI), a two-prong indicator developed by the organization’s economic research team to track and predict travel trends to and within the U.S. The TTI will be released on the first Tuesday of each month.

• Domestic leisure travel continues to strengthen, thanks to rising wages and low gas prices.
• Business travel, by contrast, contracted due to volatile markets and rising interest rates, although the TTI predicts a slight recovery for that segment in the first half of 2016.

On To The LCT Leadership Summit, Led By A Navy SEAL

MIAMI BEACH — Retired U.S. Navy SEAL Rear Admiral Scott Moore, who served for 30 years as a SEAL Team leader, will keynote the LCT Leadership Summit May 22-24 with a commanding message on organizational leadership and teambuilding.

Admiral Moore served in every leadership position in the SEAL teams, including the former commander of the Naval Special Warfare Development Group, also known as SEAL Team 6, and closed out his career as the number two leader in the entire SEAL organization. He led the military’s elite forces through more than 2,000 of our nation’s most extreme, high-stakes missions and was deployed on SEAL team operations across the globe. He understands the importance of leadership and cohesiveness like few others can, and his experience runs the gamut from leading small groups to large-scale tactical planning. From the mountains of Afghanistan to briefings in the Oval Office, Moore is the man our leaders trusted when failure was not an option.

Admiral Moore will speak at 10 a.m. Monday, May 23 on the second day of the conference being held at the posh SLS South Beach Hotel, May 22-24. The oceanfront hotel is located within walking distance of the Lincoln Road retail and Art Deco districts.
