Skift Take
It looks like the U.S. travel industry is betting on Hillary Clinton becoming the next President of the United States of America.
The 2016 U.S. Presidential primary season is entering its home stretch and travel industry stakeholders are contributing the most money to the campaigns of both the Democratic favorite and a Republican longshot.
Airlines and hotel companies have contributed the most by far to the campaign of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, according to data compiled by OpenSecrets as of Feb. 22.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, current Republican frontrunner Donald Trump has received barely any contributions from the travel industry, while Texas Senator Ted Cruz has garnered the most money from the travel industry among Republicans.
