WTA Tourism Matters Summit

TOURISM MATTERS! Spent Tuesday in Olympia at the Washington Tourism Alliance Summit and joined more than 100 members as we visited our legislators to advocate for tourism promotion in Washington State. Specifically SB6195/HB2229 (same bill) which establishes the principle of a private funding plan, identifies major private sectors in the tourism industry, lodging, food service, attractions and entertainment, retail and transportation, plus recognizes the level of funding and governance organization for a state tourism marketing program. Members of the WTA Executive Committee concluded the summit with a Q&A session on stage.
