Accordingly, to save lives and allow all Americans, including the millions of people employed in the

23Travel Industry Reaction
Travel Industry Reacts to Travel EO
▸ President Biden's mask mandate requires face-coverings to be worn in
national parks and on airplanes and requires U.S.-bound international
travelers self-quarantine upon arrival.
▸ The U.S. Travel Association commended President Biden for making masks a
requirement and lifting the travel ban from certain Muslim-majority
countries but appears hesitant about new restrictions on inbound travel.
25Travel Industry Reacts to Travel EO
U.S. Travel Association President
"We welcome the president’s focus on policies that will encourage safe
travel and help restore the millions of U.S. travel jobs that were lost last
year," U.S. Travel President and CEO Roger Dow said in a statement
on Friday. "The CDC’s inbound testing requirement is the key to
reopening international travel and it adds another important layer of
safety. If the testing requirement is going to work on a global scale, it
has to be flexible and reflect where testing resources are available and
where they’re not. The executive order would allow for flexibility if it’s
needed."
26Travel Industry Reacts to Travel EO
U.S. Travel President
"We also strongly support the president’s mask mandate for interstate travel,
which is in line with the industry’s health and safety guidance and consistent
with what countless travel businesses are already doing to protect travelers and
workers," he added. "In particular, the repeal of the travel ban from certain
Muslim-majority countries is the right move. The CDC testing requirement for
international travelers should also pave the way to ease other travel restrictions,
including those on the U.K., the E.U., and Brazil in the near term."
“However, U.S. Travel raised concerns over the administration's quarantine
requirement, calling it "unnecessary."
27Travel Industry Reacts to Travel EO
Airlines for America (A4A) President
"Airlines for America (A4A) welcomes President Biden's dedication to supporting the U.S.
airline industry and appreciate his leadership on policies that promote restoring travel in a
way that prioritizes the safety and wellbeing of all passengers and employees," said A4A
President and CEO Nicholas E. Calio.
"We appreciate the Biden Administration’s decision to implement a federal face-covering
mandate for all domestic modes of public transportation, including airports and
commercial aircraft…”
“We recognize that face coverings are a critical measure in our multi-layered approach to
protecting the traveling public,…We welcome the federal mandate as an additional layer of
support, which will strengthen our flight crews’ ability to enforce face-covering
requirements for the duration of the pandemic."
