TRAVEL & TOURISM
Travel & tourism is one of the largest industries in the USA, with gift and souvenir sales topping $16 billion annually. No wonder tourism is an essential source of revenue for many cities and states across America.
However, this industry is fragmented. There is no "national brand strategy” that brands, markets and merchandises the USA, the 50 states and cities across America. There are no iconic logos linking these destinations, there is no memorable marketing campaign and finally, there is no cohesively branded merchandise.
In short, no one has created a comprehensive brand for the USA that includes cities and all 50 states across America. This lack of imagination is leaving billions of dollars on the table.
BY the NUMBERS
$1.5 trillion in revenue to the US economy in 2017

$16 billion spent on gifts & souvenirs (according to Statista)
Second favorite activity for travelers, behind visiting relatives, is shopping (according to the US Travel Association)
