STATE LEGISLATURE CANDIDATES SUPPORTING ARIZONA TOURISM
Over the last few months, the Arizona Tourism Alliance has conducted state legislature candidate interviews in order to find out if candidates are inclined towards support of the tourism industry. Support of tourism was determined based upon responses to the following: Do they have general understanding of the tourism industry and its contribution to the states economy, jobs and employment, and contribution to tax revenue? Would they be supportive of restoring formula funding to the Arizona Office of Tourism? Would they support Prop 302 funds being returned in full to their intended use, to promote tourism in Maricopa County? Would they support re-enacting the “Media Production Jobs Act,” also known as the Motion Picture Tax Credit? Click here for the complete list of candidates who were interviewed and have shown support for the tourism industry. (ATA Update, August 2010)
