CELEBRATING NATIONAL TRAVEL AND TOURISM WEEK

MAY 19 - MAY 25, 2024

(Note: While NTTW has historically been celebrated during the first full week of May, this year’s NTTW dates were shifted due to a conflict with U.S. Travel’s IPW.)

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. 

For more than 40 years, NTTW has been 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.

This is a special time for us to unite in celebrating our industry and honoring the hard work and commitment of our Virginia Beach hospitality and tourism workforce - our hospitality heroes.  

Do you know someone who is the best of the best in the Virginia Beach tourism industry? Nominate a hospitality hero below!

In Virginia Beach, we’re celebrating NTTW 2024 early with our annual luncheon and awards ceremony on Thursday May 2, 2024, at the Virginia Beach Convention Center. Honors in 14 categories will be announced – check back soon for registration details!  

During National Travel and Tourism Week, the Virginia Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau holds its annual National Travel and Tourism Week Awards Ceremony program. The program 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 a luncheon held on May 11, 2023 at the Virginia Beach Convention Center.
