An international social media campaign aimed at trying to “keep the spark alive” within the travel community launched Monday.

Travel & Tourism is a critical sector to the global economy, accounting for one in four of all new jobs worldwide and contributing 10.3 percent to GDP,” said WTTC president & CEO Gloria Guevara in a statement.
