How to Help Increase Tourism in Your State
Recognizing
the importance of travel and tourism to restaurateurs, state restaurant
associations work closely with state tourism boards and local
convention and visitor bureaus to develop pro-tourism policy
and to market states and cities as travel-and-tourism destinations.
They need your help! Contact the organizations in your state:
