CELEBRATING NATIONAL TRAVEL AND TOURISM WEEK

MAY 1 - MAY 7, 2022

National Travel and Tourism Week (NTTW) is a widely celebrated annual tradition for both the U.S. travel community and here locally in Virginia Beach. It’s a time when travel, tourism, and hospitality professionals come together to celebrate the importance our industry holds for our economy, businesses, and even personal well-being. Established by a congressional resolution in 1983, NTTW is dedicated to highlighting the power of travel by recognizing the millions of people nationwide who help keep the hospitality industry going strong, on the frontlines, and behind the scenes.

NTTW 2022 recognizes the FUTURE OF TRAVEL and the critical role our industry will play in rebuilding the workforce, helping communities recover, fostering sustainability, ushering in new innovations, and reconnecting travelers in the U.S. and around the world. This was a special week for us to unite in celebrating our industry and honoring the hard work and commitment of our hospitality and tourism workforce here in Virginia Beach. 

During National Travel and Tourism Week The Virginia Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau holds its annual National Travel and Tourism Week Awards Ceremony. The National Travel and Tourism Awards was created to recognize those within our hospitality community who excel in their work in making Virginia Beach a First-Class travel destination, awards in almost a dozen industry-related categories were presented to local “hospitality heroes” at the luncheon celebration held on May 5^th, 2022 at the Virginia Beach Convention Center. Below are this year's winners.
