Tourism Funding is in Jeopardy! As you have probably heard, the NH legislature is in the midst of a very tough and contentious budget process with all state spending being targeted for cuts. The House passed a budget that cuts almost $1.7 million over two years in funding for the Division of Travel and Tourism Development (DTTD) - these cuts will have a direct impact on your business with fewer visitors to the state. With the price of gas rising rapidly across the country New Hampshire will need to promote aggressively if we hope to retain our base of visitors and to remain competitive with other New England States. With that in mind I am asking you to take a moment today to contact all the legislators on the Senate Finance Committee and urge them to fully fund Travel & Tourism. The Finance Committee will be working on the Travel & Tourism budget on Monday April 25th and they need to hear from you before that work session! Read more..
