“There’s no doubt this has been an incredibly challenging time,” said Travis Napper, director of Arkansas Tourism, “but National Travel and Tourism Week is an opportunity to remind our visitors and our residents of the incredible spirit and resiliency of the travel industry and our workforce. It’s only a matter of time before we all get moving again, and Arkansas will be more ready than ever to welcome travelers with open arms.”

“I’m so proud to celebrate the spirit of Arkansas this week. From the mountains of the Ozarks and Ouachitas, to the rich cultural heritage of Arkansas’s Delta region, to our beautiful waterways, The Natural State has proven its moniker time and time again,” said Napper.
Celebrated annually the first full week in May, National Travel and Tourism Week was created by Congress in 1983 to underscore the economic power of travel in the U.S.
