Travel Rally Day shines a spotlight on the economic and employment impact created in The Palm Beaches, Florida from spending by leisure and business travelers, as well as groups and meetings alike. More than 69,000 jobs in our local hospitality workforce are generated by travel and tourism.
In celebration of the United States Travel Association (USTA) sanctioned Travel Rally Day, Discover The Palm Beaches (DTPB) will gather members of the hospitality industry to celebrate the $7.3 billion tourism impact on the local community.
During the event, DTPB will host its first-ever Beach Cleanup at the Juno Beach Pier. The number one reason why tourists come to The Palm Beaches is to visit the 47 miles of pristine beaches. The Juno Beach Park is maintained by Loggerhead Marinelife Center, the winner of DTPB’s Providencia Award for tourism.
