Only 86 travel industry professionals have been inducted into the U.S. Travel Hall of Leaders since it was created in 1969. The award is given to “individuals who have made sustained, noteworthy contributions that have had a positive impact on the broad travel and tourism industry.” This year Peter Greenberg joins this group alongside the late Gary Sain.

Roger Dow, president and CEO of the U.S. Travel Association, notes:

“Peter Greenberg and Gary Sain, in differing ways, each made invaluable contributions to our industry by giving voice to the value and extraordinary experiences available through travel in the United States. This is a well-deserved recognition, and I look forward to joining the rest of the travel community in honoring them.”

Tonight Peter will be honored among more than 100 travel industry leaders at The Fairmont Dallas. Check out what the team has put together for the awards:
