Geoff Freeman to take leadership role at U.S. Travel Association

Thursday, July 7, 2022

The U.S. Travel Association makes an announcement of a new chapter which will be led by Geoff Freeman. This post was held by Roger Dow for 17 years.

Freeman re-joins the U.S. Travel Association after nearly a decade of association leadership — first as president and CEO of the American Gaming Association and as the current president and CEO of the Consumer Brands Association.

He will join U.S. Travel on September 1.

In his previous leadership role at U.S. Travel, Freeman’s strategic work led to the industry’s signature bipartisan legislative victory establishing the Travel Promotion Act of 2009 and creating Brand USA.

Christine Duffy, National Chair of the U.S. Travel Association and President of Carnival Cruise Line said that they are proud to welcome Geoff Freeman back to lead the U.S. Travel Association.

Geoff is highly regarded in Washington and well known across our industry for his strategic work to conceive campaigns and programs that opened new pathways for growth in the travel economy.

Now, returning to lead the association, Geoff will continue bringing a fresh and strategic approach to advancing the mission of U.S. Travel in its next era.

Freeman said that he is eager to get to work on behalf of this incredible industry, which has long held a special place for me.

There are few industries more essential to the nation’s economy, more connected to consumers and more critical to bringing Americans together than the travel industry.

He added that it is a matter of pride and honour for him to succeed Roger Dow, who has been a profound leader and important mentor to me.

Freeman also sends his thanks to Dow for all he has done, for me and for the travel industry.
