Rep. Mike Quigley diz que o país pode ser mais seguro se formos mais inteligentes

Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL) spoke this afternoon at the 14^º Anual GBTA Legislative Symposium, um evento que traz profissionais de viagens de negócios a Washington, DC para se reunir com legisladores para compartilhar opiniões sobre questões-chave do setor.

Rep. Quigley began his remarks by saying how important travel is to the economy. He discussed the Visa Waiver Program and the importance of passing the JOLT Act. He spoke avidly about how the many security threats that face our country can be fixed if we as a nation would reprioritize certain programs to keep us safe. “Being safe is possible if we act smarter,” said Quigley.

GBTA also presented Rep. Quigley with the inaugural GBTA Navigator Award. GBTA created the Navigator Award to honor Senators and Representatives who have been strong champions for business travelers and the business travel industry.

Rep. Quigley has been a strong advocate on a number of travel issues, but his leadership on the Visa Waiver Program and the JOLT Act, which would improve and broaden the Visa Waiver Program, has been instrumental. A strong Visa Waiver Program protects America and promotes travel.

In conjunction with the Navigator award, GBTA unveiled the Regras da estrada para otimizar as viagens de negócios em seus 14^º Simpósio Legislativo anual. A GBTA mobilizou seus membros para criar esta declaração de reforma de viagens para orientar a indústria, líderes empresariais e formuladores de políticas na criação de um ecossistema de viagens que promova crescimento, empregos, segurança e eficiência em todo o mundo.
