Tourism Industry Recovery Grants Hearing

On Monday, the Senate Jobs and Economic Development Committee heard SF1794, which establishes additional one time appropriations for Explore Minnesota Tourism (EMT). Most importantly, it creates $10 million in one time tourism industry recovery grants, which can be used by entities across the state to attract conventions, events and meetings. Several testifiers – including Tourism for Growth Coalition, Meet Minneapolis, Congress of Minnesota Resorts, and Hospitality Minnesota – highlighted the positive impact the additional funds could provide to attract events and aid the tourism industry recovery.
