A group of four U.S. Senators including Senator Begich have launched a US Senate Travel and Tourism bi-partisan Caucus.
The purpose, according to the senators, is to promote policies that reduce barriers to travel and raise awareness of the job-creating travel and tourism industry. Amy Klobuchar, Mark Begich, Roy Blunt and Mark Kirk are part of the caucus that wants to promote U.S. travel.
