The first
full week of May is annually recognized as National Travel and Tourism Week, a
tradition first celebrated in 1984. It was established as National Tourism
Week when the U.S. Congress passed a joint resolution in 1983 designating
the week to be celebrated in May. In a White House ceremony, President Ronald
Reagan signed a Presidential Proclamation urging citizens to observe the week
with “the appropriate ceremonies and activities.” Localized events are
presented in cities, states and travel businesses nationwide to champion the
power of travel.
Since its
establishment, the U.S. travel community has collectively marked the event in a
number of creative ways, from staging local rallies and conducting media
outreach to securing proclamations and resolutions from local legislative
bodies.
For more
than ten years, the CVB has participated in National Tourism Weeks activities
by visiting the Hancock County and Jackson County welcomes centers to talk to
tourists about the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Recently, the staff began welcoming
guests with free, fresh popcorn. This year, the CVB has added the Biloxi
Visitors Center to its Tourism Week activities.

The Harrison County Tourism Commission, an
organization charged with promoting South Mississippi as a tourism and
convention destination worldwide, does business as the Mississippi Gulf Coast Convention and Visitors Bureau. Its mission centers on attracting
ever-increasing numbers of leisure, convention, sports and business visitors to
the area. It is dedicated to maximizing
