Roger Dow Biography

Roger Dow is the President and CEO of the U.S. Travel Association, the national trade association that represents all segments of America’s travel industry.

Since joining the U.S. Travel Association in 2005, Dow has led the transformation of the formerly fragmented organization into a united advocacy force now recognized as one of the most effective industry associations in the country.

His efforts have resulted in major legislative victories, including securing pandemic-related relief for the hard-hit travel industry, establishing and renewing Brand USA, the highly effective national travel and tourism promotion program, and procuring funds to maintain America’s treasured national parks.

Prior to joining U.S. Travel, Mr. Dow advanced through the ranks at Marriott International in a career that spanned 34 years. He joined Marriott International as a summer lifeguard at the sixth Marriott property and eventually rose to Senior Vice President of Global and Field Sales, where he led Marriott’s 10,000-person worldwide sales organization. His many accomplishments for the company include the development of Marriott Rewards, the world’s leading frequent traveler program.

Mr. Dow also served in the United States Army with the 101st Airborne Division in Vietnam, where he received the Bronze Star and other citations.

Roger Dow Speaking Topics

It's All About Sales

Unleash the power of relationships. Understand and focus on what is really important to customers. Match your core strengths with customer needs. Set bold goals to bring everyone into alignment to exceed expectations and achieve dramatic results.

Make the complex simple for customers and your team. Understand who are your most valued and highest potential customers and make them part of the family. Sales is too important to be left up to the sales department—create a culture where everybody sells. Recognize and celebrate sales heroes at every level.

Building A Customer-Focused Team

Customers are defining value as better, faster, cheaper ... when I want it, where I want it and how I want it! Customer loyalty is elusive, but critical, in an intensely competitive world. Their needs are changing and we must change to satisfy them. Strive for a greater share of customer versus share of market. Eliminate anything that doesn’t add value.

Achieve a balanced focus on customers, people and profits. Focus resources on what really matters to customers. Work Hard on the right stuff for your customers, people and profits. Be brilliant on the basics and incredibly convenient- then add value in the customer's eyes.
