                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
 Designating the week of February 1 through 7, 1993, as ``Travel Agent 
                          Appreciation Week''.

Whereas travel and tourism has become one of the fastest growing industries in 
        the United States, generating more than $350,000,000,000 in 1992;
Whereas over 40,000 travel agencies in the United States perform many vital 
        services that save American consumers and business valuable time and 
        money;
Whereas both business and leisure travelers have come to rely on the travel 
        agent for accurate, professional advice;
Whereas travel agents are an integral part of the travel and tourism industry;
Whereas travel agents generated over $51,000,000,000 in revenue for the airline 
        industry in 1992 alone;
Whereas travel agents are located in all the 50 States in the United States, and 
        are an important source of jobs from entry level to middle management in 
        almost every town throughout the country; and
Whereas it is fitting to set aside a time to honor and recognize these highly 
        trained travel professionals: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the week of February 1 
through 7, 1993, is designated as ``Travel Agent Appreciation Week'', 
and the President is authorized to issue a proclamation calling upon 
the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate 
ceremonies and activities.
