Melissa in the Morning: CT Tourism Dollars

WICC The Voice of Connecticut

There’s a push to invest much more money into our Connecticut tourism budget. According to the Office of Tourism, the tourism budget was cut and in the budget address this week, I didn’t hear anything about new state dollars going to tourism. That means the tourism budget could be cut even more, even though tourism efforts have been a big driver in bringing people to Connecticut over the last few years. Dan O’Keefe, Commissioner of the Department of Economic and Community Development gave us more concrete numbers to support getting more dollars from the state for tourism.
